<Can't create data socket (128.252.135.4,20): Address already in use. Well, yes, it is in use: I'M USING IT!!! OK, that's outta the way. This error seems to occur a lot and at random. Which end is the socket in use? Why would it think that it is in use by someone/something else? Isn't FTP supposed to be "connection-oriented?" Why would it give it to another process?
