Re: Can't use FTP with WinXpProSp2 firewall on

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Assuming you try to access a FTP server from XP, this may help.
 

go to "Internet options"
click on the "Advanced" tab
make sure that "Use passive FTP" is NOT clicked

 

Please post back with the result.

Hi All,

With Windows XP Pro, SP2, firewall on, I can not access FTP servers;
as soon as I turn the firewall off, I can access all the FTP servers I
need.

Can anyone help, PLEASE?
TIA,
JBR
