Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Passive FTP and firewall and Internet explorer

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,
