A few days ago somebody had a question about ftp, and I accidentally lost that message. But anyway, the gist was that the original poster could use ftp in Windows but not in Debian, and couldn't figure out why, and he was getting a lot of advice about passive vs. active mode.
A thought occurred to me that it could be the firewall. Be sure you haven't blocked outgoing ftp. I had the same issue with ssh - couldn't get it to work despite lots of helpful advice from people, only to discover (to my acute embarassment) that I was blocking ssh with my firewall. regards, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
