Hi All,

On Friday, I was a bit premature in thinking my problems with FTP was
solved.

I am trying to FTP from my dsktop to the i, using the live address
65.xxx.xx.xxx. I opened up port 21 on the i, with NAT to 192.168.100.7
(local address of my i). So I get prompt for user id, then password and on
entering both get a message saying I am logged on. Then if I give a command
to change my current directory, that too works fine. But when I try to
access any data, even a simple "dir" command, after telling me "PORT command
successful", the PC goes into a wait mode for about 5-7 minutes and then
comes back with an error message "Not able to open data connection". At
about the same time, on the i I get a message saying TCP/IP connection
closed reason code 2. I think the data port for FTP is 20, so I have that
open too, with the same NAT as port 21.

Any ideas?
TIA
