Hi, I'm having a problem with a socks4 firewall & ftp. This is a log of the ftp connection - >> print load ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ftp.awardsplus.co.uk URL Parse: anonymous [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp.awardsplus.co.uk none none none Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" FTP] connecting to: ftp.awardsplus.co.uk Net-log: [ none ["220" "230"]] Net-log: {220 www.astonsci.co.uk NcFTPd Server (licensed copy) ready.} Net-log: [["USER" port/user] "331"] Net-log: {331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.} Net-log: [["PASS" port/pass] "230"] Net-log: {230-You are user #3 of 50 simultaneous users allowed.} Net-log: "230-" Net-log: "230 Logged in anonymously." Net-log: [ "TYPE I" "200"] Net-log: "200 Type okay." Net-log: [ "PASV" "227"] Net-log: "227 Entering Passive Mode (195,112,5,192,18,103)" ** Access Error: Network timeout. ** Where: print load ftp://anonymous:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ftp.awardsplus.co.uk >> As you can see it all works ok until the end where it eventually times out. HTTP access works ok. I think it's something to do with the configuration of the proxy but not sure what. Can anyone give me some pointers to resolve this problem? Thanks Nigel Booker
