Re: Opening A Specific IP Address

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

I guess I don't understand what's going wrong?
Default FTP port is 21

So when you connect to him (unless he's configured it for a different port.)
It's port 21 and that's it?

What seems to be the problem?
(I don't understand your statment of "When I try to connect they try and
send a port command?)


What errors are you getting when you FTP?
