Re: Ftp connection - it worked

HI!!!!

You won't believe it: I'm so excited: after a long time, I could
connect!!!!! I'm so happy! I disabled the windows firewall and voilá! My
good old fpt worked like a charm! How can that be? It means the exceptions
are bogus? And there's no problem if I disable it?

Thanks a lot!!!!!

Hi!

This is interesting, I'll try to disable the windows firewall and let you
know. There must be something and I'm mad at me because I can't figure it
out. It's so frustrating...
I liked your Ciao, even if this is an Italian word. My English must be bad,
but I'm trying. Here in Brasil "bye" is "Tchau".

Thanks for your attention!

Hi,all

I posted this question in the internet newsgroup and the solutions
suggested
didn't work. I have used Filezilla for more than 4 years to upload my
sites.
Now I can't connect anymore. I uninstalled it, reboot and installed it
again. Same thing. I installed three other ftp apps and they don't connect
too. I set the windows firewall and NAV to see them as exceptions. I even
tried to connect with NAV auto-protect turned off. Nothing.
Another question is that if I have to download a file from any ftp site
(just like the Symantec Norton removal tool) within IE6, it says page
cannot
be found, but I never could do this.
I did a google search, went to the foruns of the apps, did everithyng
suggested and still have the problem. It's been almost two weeks now, and
I
was wondering if this has something to
do with the windows updates installed recently. I set the updates to ask
permission, but that doesn't make many difference, I don't know what they
are talking about. I did a research through the kbs installed, but I felt
like a donkey looking at a palace...
Win xp pro sp2, IE6.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance,
Rosana




Hi Rosana,

The last time I saw something like what you describe, it was
because the Windows Firewall got turned on and was not
allowing the FTP port. Occasionally, I will have people
complain that after a Windows update that the Firewall was
in fact on though they had had it off because they were
using a third party firewall
