RE: FTP Client issues

Crina, thanks for the information. I did try using "quote pasv" . No luck. It
says it has changed to passive mode, but it still trying to go to use
ftp-data port 20 ( I used ethereal to trace the network traffic.) Again -
when I use FileZilla or smartFTP, same ftp site works.

Here is the sample session.

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

ftp> quote pasv
227 Entering Passive Mode (216,34,207,53,164,135).
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
=============================

ls command never comes back
