Re: FTP Problem: WindowsXP seems unable to transmit password

If you are using a router, or firewall, in between your FTP client and the
FTP web site, you will need to set up the FTP client to use the firewall
access/ PASV ftp mode. Active FTP mode may cause problems where the ports
may be blocked and/or data corruption.
