Guest Trevor Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I'm finding the only way I can FTP files to my webspace is to switch windows firewall off. I guessed there must be a way round this and found a place to add an ftp site to the firewall settings and I think this worked once, but now can only do it with firewall off again. I have another PC at home in England (I'm in France) that works fine without switching the firewall off, so there must be a way?

It may enable the application to work at least partially if not faultlessly.
