Can't connect to FTP servers with Firewall activited in SP2
Hi.
I'm at the end of my rope on this issue. I am running Windows-XP SP2 edition and with the built-in XP firewall activated I *CANNOT* connect to FTP servers. I have tried the following: - Opening Ports 20/21 - Allowing CUTEFTP.exe and transferengine exe files - Making sure "use passive ftp" was unchecked in Internet Explorer - Cannot use cmd line "ftp" program to connect anywhere - Switched to PASV mode in CuteFTP I have tried other FTP clients as well, so it is obvious CUTEFTP is not the issue. I would appreciate it if anyone could help, Thanks |

Try either Zone Alarm or Sygate (both free in the personal edition) www.zonelabs.com www.sygate.com |
