Firewall FTP

[Styles]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Ever since installing SP2, I am unable to connect to an FTP site via Internet
Explorer. The only time I can connect is to turn off the firewall. is there
a way I can resolve this issue? I want to be able to connect to an FTP site
without turning off the firewall.

It is not good practice to turn of a firewall for any reason if you are
connected.

[x] Use passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)

in your ftp client (assuming you're using one and not IE), type the
command:

quote pasv

to enter passive mode; this often gets things working thru a firewall.
