Comments on: Another damn failure on my colo box http://blog.xcski.com/2007/01/04/another-damn-failure-on-my-colo-box Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

That way we all get way more than what I was paying $30 a month for at linode.com. Vicki: Yes, there is a "del" command in <code>ftp</code>. And I was worried that an un-escaped "put" might have done something weird, like how ncftpbatch was attempting to upload all those files called "Zone" earlier.

It's a simple mistake, anyone could make it. Isn't rm * useless over an ftp connection anyway? Feh.

Seems like you could avoid the problems you're having if the reasons for doing so can be accomplished in other ways until xen is fully-ready for prime time.
