Semi-OT: Anybody using CuteFTP Pro with Norton's Personal Firewall?

P

(Pete Cresswell)

CuteFTP works fine as long as I turn the firewall off, but I can't get it to
connect with firewall on.

Added CuteFtpPro and FtpE to the FireWalls "permit" list - allowing each to go
both ways.

Tried various combinations/permutations of the Proxy option...but no luck.

Anybody?

Make sure your FTP client is set to passive mode.

In Tools|Global Options|Data Mode, I see "PORT" and "PASV".

Haven't been able to find "Passive" anywhere else. Could 'Data Mode=PASV' be
the one?

I toggled Data Mode between Auto and PASV a couple times and now it works - even
when set to Auto (the original setting).

My conclusion: I've gone and done something else without knowing about it.

Oh well, at least it's working.... Seems TB a decent product - it works
consistantly, it lets the user know what's going on, and the UI is
sufficiently-intuitive that even I don't have any problems getting what I want
done done.
