switched to adsl with them. since this time i have been unable to upload view
or download any files using microsoft ftp explorer. can anybody ive me any
clues as to why this may be happening and how i could fix it

Hi,

If you have problems connectiong to FTP servers using Internet Explorer when
your computer is behind a firewall, you need to enable passive mode so you
can connect a different way.

If this is the case: In IE go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and scroll
down to Use Passive FTP, select and apply.
 
You may want to check your ISP still supports that feature now you're on
ADSL. I can't use that method either with my "normal" web-site address, but
I can using my Domain name. It could be an ISP issue.
