Re: FTP from outside PC

In Windows, '10060' is WSAETIMEDOUT.  This is the Windows Sockets error
message for "Timed Out".

So, it timed out before the connection was made.

Yes, you need an FTP server running on your PC when you try to connect
to it -- but if you had no FTP server, you should have got a 10061
which is WSAECONNREFUSED...  not a WSAETIMEDOUT.   So, I think there's
probably a firewall in place somewhere that's preventing you from getting
there.
