Go to www.sygate.com and download the personal, free firewall. Disconnect
from the Net. Disable MS' piss poor excuse for a firewall forever. Install
Sygate. Reconnect to the Net. Enjoy.

Open Internet Explorer >Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab

Uncheck the box: "Use passive FTP (for firewall & DSL modem capability)

try and place those ftp sites in the "exception" list (the list that you
create so the firewall will allow access)

And How do I do add to the exeption list a FTP server, Even so I will have
to configure an exeption for the FTP server I want/have to access.
Thanks for the info

SP 2's firewall only offers one way protection. Disable it after downloading
and installing a real firewall. Or, keep frustrating yourself trying to
configure MS' piss poor excuse for a firewall. I have Sygate and have no
problems whatsoever with FTP.
