Thanks, again, Lance!
One thing that is not abundantly clear in my mind is whether or not
normal/regular mode, Port 21 (or 20 & 21,) and PASV Ports ranging from
1024 - 65535 are mutually exclusive. That is, should I setup for PASV mode
only if I setup PASV at all or should I setup for both regular and PASV
modes? And thanks especially for the heads-up on Pablo. That application
works quite well, though I'm still having some problems with users outside
my LAN. Works ok inside the LAN.
Thanks also for the heads up on photobucket, but services like that (free or
otherwise) really don't suit my needs.
