Paul, -snip- MM BTW you can watch my FTP too :-))) MM ftp://ftp.gin.cz/pub/mswindows/the_bat/ -snip- PC I clicked on that in Mozilla, but it started ws_ftp and I stopped it. PC Now my Tiny Firewall keeps alrting that: PC Someone from regina.gin.cz PC [212.71.128.10], port 20 wants to connect to port 3473 owned by 'Windows PC Explorer' on your computer You clicked on an FTP link and apparently WS-FTP is your default FTP client. It tried to connect to the site to display it but TPF detected a new connection about to happen and notified you of it. (you made the FTP request on port 21 but the reply came back on port 20. Not quite the same as surfing on port 80 where replies always come back on the same port.) I believe that since it is trying to connect to port 3473 on your machine means it is a PASV connection. I may be wrong on this point... This seems to me to be exactly as it should be. All you needed to do was authorize that connection so you could see the site. I can't explain offhand why it keeps trying to connect though... Maybe someone else can explain further if you would like. -- Scott Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I'm using Windows (Total) Commander and TPF asks me allways twice - for port 21 (send) and 20 (receive). -- Marek Mikus Czech Support of The Bat! http://www.thebat.cz Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

marek, That would make sense. If the windows were closed but he never hit cancel first... Of course he never authorized the connection so the cancel request may not have been sent even if he did click it. ;) Hmmm...
