[nmglug] ftp over vpn,

[Andres Paglayan]

well, you might hit the nail,
I did configure /etc/vpnc/default.conf according to the settings I got 
from them,
I run vpnc-connect script and it shows running in the background.
I tried the
route add ftp.server.ip ws the.vpn.ip
and it says
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
so I must be missing somethin in the use of vpnc
