Can anyone explain to me the FTP 'Data' channel protocol? As I understand it, the client creates a socket, and the server binds to it, and then the 'DATA' is sent to it. How does the server know which port to bind on the client? Is there something obvious I don't understand as to why they couldn't use the original 'channel'? Thanks for any help! Nate
