Infact, I cannot access any FTP sites. I've had no trouble downloading from FTP before
I've tried enabling FTP in the Options/Advanced menu but with no success
all updates installed - also got Spybot installed...
Can anyone point the way to a solution?
 
Can this be the issue?

A security update is available that modifies the default behavior of
Internet Explorer for handling user information in HTTP and in HTTPS URLs

If applicable.

Fix, if This problem occurs after you apply the 832894 security update
(MS04-004) or the 821814 hotfix.

SYMPTOMS
Programs that use Wininet functions to post data (such as a user name or a
password) to a Web server retry the POST request with a blank header if the
Web server closes (or resets) the initial connection request.
 
Thanks for the reply Henri, I had already tried your fix
I since found out that when I turn off NIS, FTP works & so it is a Norton configuratrion problem
I'm going to delete & then recreate my Port 20/21 Rule to see if that solves the problem.
