We're using WS_FTP Server 5.0. I'm not talking about WS_FTP Pro at all, to the best of my knowledge the customers in question are all using Internet Explorer 6 to access the FTP site.

By default passive mode is turned on in ws-ftp pro, Ron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Smith Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 1:14 PM To: WSFTP Forum 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?
