Works here...

bash-2.05a$ ftp ftp.netbsd.org.
Connected to ftp.netbsd.org.
220 ftp6.netbsd.org FTP server (NetBSD-ftpd 20020201) ready.
Name (ftp.netbsd.org.:beer): ftp
331 Guest login ok, type your name as password.

[snippity doo-dah]

bash-2.05a$ netstat -a | grep ftp
tcp6       0      0  www.NetScum.dynd.1081  ftp6.netbsd.org.ftp    ESTABLISHED

This is under FreeBSD, what I'm booted into at the moment.  It
was kinda dog-slow getting the `331 Guest login' prompt, but it
did come after a dozen or so seconds, so it does seem to be there.

This is over a stf interface.  I have had some problems at times
with certain sites (ftp.dk.freebsd.org) with `lynx' where I need
to interrupt the transfer to make it happen, that I haven't needed
to do with other sites, but after waiting some minutes, this is
not the case for ftp.netbsd.org -- just seems slow now.

Hope that's useful...
