it's interesting you mentioned this, there are only 2 clients that
experience this problem, one uses passive mode the other doesn't??? Does it
matter what the client does or is it just a defect with checkpoint that
having the firewall passive enabled is enough??? still worth a try but why
would one passive and one normal ftp client both experience this???
