Does anyone have any > ideas? Regards, J.S In /etc/services, I see the following lines related to ftp: ftp-data 20/tcp #File Transfer [Default Data] ftp-data 20/udp #File Transfer [Default Data] ftp 21/tcp #File Transfer [Control] ftp 21/udp #File Transfer [Control] Are all of these ports open in the firewall? Sending and receiving? (I don't know if all of the ports are needed or not.) Best of luck, Andrew Gould
