You are attempting to connect to the FTP server. That not what I said.
Use a straight telnet connection (i.e. drop the -p21) and use your OS2BBS
userid and password. I'm not sure if OS/2's telnet will support file
transfers. That's why I use ZOC. Hyperaccess/Pro supports file transfers
and, IIRC, telnet connections. I'm not sure how much of this is included
in the BonusPack version.

Makes sense, you don't have permission.

Yep, same thing.

It's
ftp://anonymous:steve53%40earthlink.net@bbs.os2bbs.com
You need to use the %-escape to get the @ through to the server. All
servers are supposed to support this but, YMMV.
