Mark, I can log in from the Windows XP cmd line, but if I try to do an ls I
get a 'port command successful' but nothing returned from the ls command.
If I ftp directly to my server machine (192.168.0.10) and bypass the
firewall as you observed, then when I do an ls, I get a response back from
the server with the contents of that directory. I wonder if this has
something to do with the way the ports are being managed for comms to the
server vs. comms from the server. Notice that the ftp server accepted my
login id and password but got hung up when attempting to send the data from
the ls command back to the ftp client. Thanks, Linc
