<div class="moz-cite-prefix">You are right, Karl, about ftp vs. http
and ipv4 vs. ipv6 being orthogonal. You are also right about the
software I'm using being unfinished. I have no guarantee that
anyone will finish it or that I can find a better alternative that
works with the other software and limitations of my server; thus
my conclusion isn't entirely nonsequitur. Either way, using
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="ftp://ftp.ebible.org">ftp.ebible.org</a> instead of my initially-suggested plain ebible.org
for the host name improves the flexibility of what we can do in
the future without breaking things that are working, now or soon
will be working.<br>

The problem is not that Sword (or anything else) uses anonymous
ftp.<br>
The problem is that you have a buggy ftp server that fails in
the presence of IPv6.<br>
And it's not even failing on IPv6 itself -- network connectivity
works -- but on some authentication mechanism that is somehow
mis-tied to IPv6.<br>
<br>
This has not a whit to do with "the gradual shift from IPv4 to
IPv6." "IPv4 -vs- IPv6" and "HTTP -vs- FTP" are orthogonal; a
change in one has nothing necessarily to do with the other.
This has to do with unfinished software such as your ftp server.<br>
