Those syntax errors should not cause any problems. Fetch sends those commands to find out whether the server supports them. If a server receives a command it does not recognize it should respond with the 500 code and otherwise ignore the command.
Some servers have bugs that are triggered by unknown commands. To work around those bugs you can run the SetSecretOptions script in the Fetch Example Scripts folder and tell Fetch to stop sending MACB and ADAT.
Thanks,

When logging in to my website ftp server with Fetch 4.01, I get the following 500 syntax error messages. I am connecting through an adsl line and running Mac OS 9.21 on a Blue/White G3. I would like to know what causes these errors and if I can do anything about them.
1: ADAT
500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.
2: MACB ENABLE
500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.
Thanks...
