Hi Yohandy, Well, the first step is to varify port x is actually being blocked. To do that you need a port scanner such as nmap which is a very good open source tool for diagnosing networking problems like this. In the case of ftp the port you need to check is port 21That is usually the port ftp runs on, and some firewalls do block that port unless you reconfigure them. As for finding out what is running on a certain port usually you can find out what is running on any given port. The way to do it largely depends on the OS in question.
