Are they blocking you to access other ports then 80 or 21 on remote machines? Why allow you to use http then? It is just as unsafe. You can fetch files through it. No I don't think they block you on port level. I rather beleive you have the standard trouble with firewall and ftp.
Set your ftp client to passive mode transfers. Then you will be the one that initiates all connections through the firewall.

The Army has decided that any ftp site cannot be accessed because of security reasons. I get to the folder, but I am blocked from actually downloading any files.

If you can browse the WWW, you can access ftp sites... Here is a URL for getting GNU software: ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/tar/ Download it, untar it with Solaris tar and read the REAME and INSTALL, and they should explain most of what you need. If you can't surf the WWW, I don't know how to help you. jas. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
