Why after installed sp2, cann't use ftp instead of http to download

[Kevin]

I just installed sp2, before I can just input like
ftp://www.redbook.ibm.com/redbooks/SG532344 something like
that to download, but now when I do it, ie will die.
Anyone can tell me how to do?

Perhaps the troubleshooting information in this article may help:

You may not be able to open a project when you try to connect to a remote Windows XP
Service Pack 2-based computer by using the AutoCAD FTP service

Here's how to correct the problem after opening Port 21 via the
SP2 firewall Exceptions tab:

1. Open Internet Explorer >Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab

2. Uncheck the box: "Use passive FTP (for firewall & DSL modem capability)
