I wonder whether anyone could suggest what is causing the following problem. With my XP SP2 system I cannot upload files to my web space (or even check what is already there) unless I first disable Sygate. FTP Explorer is in the Application list of the latter set at Allowed, and it is also included in the Exceptions in the Windows Firewall. . I tried the same thing on an old Win 98Se machine and had no need to disable Sygate in that case. I am sure that there must be a simple explanation, but it eludes me at present. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
