If I Disable Folder View for FTP sites in IE I cannot even connect to the site.
It was already set to enable folder view.

when you say to configure my router to allow passive port range, I already that I thought.
I edited the registry to use port range 5100 to 5150. I port forwarded those ports to the internal ip of the ftp
server.

Again programs like total commander and flashfxp work, but IE does not.
