You can also use Internet Explorer to test which settings will
work for you...
If you are connecting to a password protected site, type it in
as follows:
Note: FTP connections through Internet Explorer send info
in a plain text format.
ftp://userid:password@ftp.sitename.com
You'll be able to determine which setting IE needs to be set up
as and I think it might be possible that it will work with both
settings.
That Passive FTP setting in IE is primarily used to help out in
getting FTP to go through firewalls. If you don't have a firewall
it might not be applicable.

I got all excited. :)) SO I found the setting in IE6 and it was unchecked so I checked it. Closed IE and tried to run my app again. Oh well, same problem. I'm going to try it on a different ftp server to see if that might be the problem.
