Scott:

I believe FTP Servers using PASSIVE MODE behind firewalls requires
ports above 2000 to be open.  The reason seems to be that the client is
negotating the port with the server, not the other way around.

I've been having an issue with many customers who can't access our FTP
site. 
I believe every one of them is using IE to browse to the FTP site.  I
tried 
connecting myself from outside our network, and I couldn't even get in.

That is, until i disabled the passive ftp option in the Internet
Options in 
Windows.  As soon as that passive ftp option was disabled, I was able
to get 
right into the FTP site.  I believe that my customers are probably
having 
the same problem.  The only thing that changed recently was we have a
new 
firewall in place.

I'm already asking the firewall manufacturer if there are any issues
with 
passive ftp, but I want to ask the forum if any of you have any input
on 
this?

Thanks,
