Same here. And one is obviously not "stuck with IE" - just paste the URL into your FTP command prompt... Works both ways here.

Client says that he used to be able to download FTP documents but that the State says they performed some "upgrades" and now he can't download FTP documents. "We haven't had many complaints." --- TX DOT. It's a www site. Then you click the link and it attempts to download the file using FTP in your browser. Which means we're stuck using IE as the FTP client. If you'd like to try it for yourself go to: http://www.dot.state.tx.us/business/outline.htm Under Pre-Letting - Highways, click on Notice to Contractors Click on Official Notice for April 2007 Letting (this is the FTP download) Firewall client installed on workstation. FTP allow rule in place in ISA. Using or not using the FTP filter = no download. This message occurs in the browser on the workstation. ISA Server: extended error message : 200 Switching to Binary mode. 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 425 Failed to establish connection. In the ISA logs I have only an FTP Allowed connection to this server. No denied packets. In a Network Monitor session from my PC with Firewall Client installed I only see the HTTP Get command after that nothing.
