If the ports (20 & 21 IIRC) are open from outside firewall them IMMEDIATELY. If you had OS X 10.2 you could do this in the sharing control panel but if not use a utility like Brickwall or FireWalkX. FTP is NOT a secure protocol and is an invitation to crackers to get into your machine and your files. Anyway - what happened to being able to use AppleShare to access an OS X machine? The instructions are on your site and they do work with 10.1.5, I tried it with my Mac SE. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
