Is this a true router or a PC acting as a router? If it is a true router, post your config, if you don't mind, or send privately and I can see if I can help. I have ran into this problem a lot in the past. My roomate is a Cisco guy and can surely help. -Chuck <p><p><p>-----Original Message----- From: Spunk S.

I was using pasv mode... but I don't have port 20 set to pass... Spunk

This is because your router is using NAT to map from the outside. You must use an FTP client that allows passive transfers. FTP also uses port 20 as

a

control port.

For example, if you are using CuteFTP, on the advanced tab you can select PASV mode, or I think older versions have a Use Firewall option.

Hope this helps, Chuck
