RE: FTP Issue

Phil, 

This was the answer. Talking with another friend he taught me that PCs use
active mode by default, and my PC can transfer things all day. The other end
(server end) told me to use passive mode, but they were just plain wrong. As
soon as I turned passive mode off (sendpasv 0) the files started
transmitting like a champ.

Thanks to everyone for their input. 

Patrick
