Eric - thanks, that is the first thing I did. Turned off all firewall protection (briefly) and used the FTP from the CMD window - same result. I hate to think that the OS has a broken path in the network software. As I said - it was working fine until just recently and NO Windows patches were installed that I am aware of. Good thing to double check - so thanks for the insight.

Pinging the machine will only tell you it's there not necessarily running an FTP server.. Are you saying you can get to the FTP server from one machine and not the other? I would look at the windows firewall on the machine you can't get to it from...

I caught the issue just this last month and have tried to investigate. I have another system behind the same DSL Router/Firewall that can run the Ftp just fine - but even a clean install of WS_Ftp Pro 2007 generates the same message: Connection Failure! It is finding the Target IP and Port correctly, but after 30 seconds or less it reports the failure. I have turned off the local firewall but still no success. I can Ping the target IP easily - so I'm kind of stuck. My patch is to use the alternate computer to handle the uploads to our Off-Site Archive for the moment, but I'd really like to resolve the issue on the Server. Any ideas or insights would be appreciated. RRE
