when I connect via FTP to our Unix server (HP-UX 10.2) I don't get any files showing up on the RIGHT side of the FTP application.  When I double click on the .. to move up a directory I get this error: "Couldn't open the Temporary Directory File for reading".  Please help me as soon as you can!  by the way, I can log in under the admin profile and it works fine, but if I got back to logging in as the user who is having problems, I get this same error again.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled already also.  Please feel free to email me at: astout@krauseco.com

If you can log in as the root user and there is no problem that means the ftp server/client is working ok so if there is trouble it's related to the user login.

I would check to see if that users account on the unix machine has the proper permissions (like it has to be writeable by that user so they can create the temporary file that has the directory listing in it).

The strange thing is - he was working fine logging in via a Citrix client and running ice.tcp from there.  He was logging in using the same user ID also.  I checked his account settings and ownership of his user directory and nothing looks out of whack......

PRO has ftp pro as well as ftp win. Maybe you could try the FtpPro to see if you get a different result?
Just install the Pro client and you will see Ftp Pro in the start menu.
