Steffen, Your login info is transmitted over the control line. When you issue a command that requires output or try to GET a file, the ftp server opens a socket back to the client, after the two have negotiated which ports they'll use. If it's not dns-related, I'm thinking that it might have to do with the necessity of accepting connections to the client on high TCP ports. -Brad Steffen Vorrix wrote: > > Brad... > > Just for grins, I tried that...
