FTP connection problems



  1. Turn off "passive" mode transfers.  Passive mode transfers may not be compatible with ftp/firewall servers.
    1. In Internet Explorer, Tools | Options | Advanced - uncheck "Use Passive mode for FTP transfers"
    2. In Fetch, Preferences | Firewall - uncheck "Use Passive Mode"
  2. Not all FTP servers support "anonymous" connections.  If you receive an "access-denied" or similar message, contact the server manager to determine if an account is needed to access the server.
