Some of the problems you may encounter in attempting to connect to the Armory FTP server:

• The Armory FTP server does a reverse DNS (PTR) lookup on remote IP addresses. If there are problems doing a lookup on your IP address, the connection will appear to hang. After 30 seconds the lookup will time out and allow the FTP connection to proceed, but some FTP clients (for example, those built into some web browsers) may themselves time out before this happens. In this case, you will need to either use an FTP client with a longer timeout, or correct whatever problems are occuring with your domain name service.
• The Armory FTP server attempts to send an ident (RFC 1413) query, and waits for either a positive or negative response before allowing the connection to proceed. Some routers are misconfigured such that they drop packets sent to blocked ports rather than correctly explicitly rejecting them. Some hosts make the same mistake when they receive packets sent to ports that no services are configured on. The symptom of this is the same as for the PTR lookup hang. If you are behind such a router or operating from such a host, the only solution is to either fix the problem (ident service uses port 113) or use an FTP client with a longer timeout than the ident timeout.
• You may be having a forward nameservice problem. Try connecting to ftp://192.122.209.23 instead.
• The server may be down, or there may be network connectivity problems between you and the server. If you cannot reach the server via IP address as described above, this may be the problem. You will need to wait for the problem to be fixed.
• The anonymous FTP server requires that an email address be given for the password. The email address must include an '@'. Some web browsers by default use an email address for this purpose that does not include an '@'. In this case, you will need to configure your browser to include an '@' in the anonymous FTP password, or use a diffferent FTP client.
