Its a WIN NT box.. Or do you > mean passive mode of NATD or something? Sorry I'm such a newbie.. Passive mode on the client side. Passive mode basically means that the server does not try to open up a second channel back to the client. The NAT stuff can only handle this sort of thing if it can recognise the ``PORT'' command going out on the original channel (it then prepares itself for the back-connect), but natd only looks for PORT commands on the standard ftp port. > On Tue, 27 Jul 1999, Brian Somers wrote: > > > > > > I am having a helluva time with this..
