Try forcing ftp active mode a lot of clients nowadays default to passive mode. That way the ftp server connects back to the client with the data, and may allow the connection to get through the firewall. Of course, this will break any users that are also behind a firewall, but it's very difficult to run ftp between two machines that are protected by a firewall, unless one of the machines' firewall is really smart WRT ftp connections. - -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
