No, I wasn't suggesting a reinstall. In the WS_FTP knowledge base there is an article related to upgrading to XP, but in the end it leads to the "cure" The Rube" listed in #59 above. So as long as you checked the setting is correct, this is a dead end.

It was supposed to be cured in WS_FTP 7.0 but you're not running Netsonic are you?

Anyway, here's the link to the WS_FTP knowledgebase: http://jabba.ipswitch.com/query.html?col=kb+wsftpug+imlguide+wugguide+ftpsrvug+iimguide&qp=&qs=&qc=kb+wsftpug+imlguide+wugguide+ftpsrvug+iimguide&pw=100%25&ws=0&fs=&qt=%22cannot+connect%22+|+ws_ftp&qm=0&template=kb&st=21&nh=10&lk=1&rf=0
(You'll need to copy and paste the entire URL. Steve's PCQnA_html can't handle the "pipe".) You may have seen it already. Doesn't seem to be anything new but if you haven't, give it a quick once over.
