[snip] Todd, Try setting your Proftpd to force passive mode transfers. For some reason gecko based browsers have a tendency to trip PortSentry alert system and trick it into thinking there's an active attack and then block access. This has happened to me on more then one occassion while using Proftpd. Since switching to Pure-ftpd I don't have this problem any longer. As I remember it though forcing the passive transfer did the trick for me. Mark
