I am pleased to say that I have finally solved the problem I posed this 
afternoon about the apparent need to disable my firewall to use fTP 
Explorer.
By carefully comparing the Profile settings on the two machines I 
discovered that it is necessary to have PASV mode selected to avoid the 
problem.  I have no idea what this is - perhaps I should have studied the 
Help system more thoroughly before raising it on the list. 

Apologies if anyone has wasted time puzzling about it.
