Kay, I followed this thread when you raised it a couple of weeks ago. I didn't chime in then because I didn't have anything to add. However, a couple of weeks ago, I got reports of some of my clients not being able to access my ftp server. I didn't think I have changed anything on my end but they definitely could not get through. Then yesterday I realised that all the clients that were having problems were using XP. Many of my clients connect to my site through their Windows 2000 boxes. These still worked. I tried quite a few settings but nothing seemed to fix the problem. Last night I updated my ftp server software and this seems to have fixed the problem. (Probably doesn't help you specifically. I am using FTP-Config for Macintosh) I can only guess that one of the recent XP updates created the problem. Not sure it helps you - maybe you need to speak with the IT people who host the ftp server you are trying to connect to.
