He's talking about the data connection, which the FTP server initiates back to the client to do a normal file transfer. The PORT message sent to the server lets it know what IP and port to connect to. Of course, if you're doing passive FTP, it works the other way around (client initiates all connections) with a different sequence of messages. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator Be nice to other people.
