What is Passive mode? I have seen it but it doesn't sound like I could write a file back to the server, which I want to do. Sounds a bit, well, passive...

You can upload files to the FTP server in passive mode. Passive mode has no loss of functionality as compared to Active mode. FTP's passive mode will do what you want.

Ah! The link above explained it all. I have now set passive mode and that should get around pretty much any firewall problems. It certainly works reading and writing from a local port, but I can't easily go out to try it on a public connection.

Thanks, Jim.

I confirm - with Passive mode selected (sounds like grammar!) it runs A-OK now, solid as any rock can be on the internet... Thanks VERY much indeed.
