[erlang-questions] Troubles with FTP

[Ingela Anderton Andin]

Hi!

Well ok this was a bug in inets that was solved in inets-4.5.3.  When 
you changed erlang version you also changed inets-version.

You can do  for instance do code:which(ftp)  in the erlang shell to see 
what the application version
of inets is.
