I was using FlashFXP with no problems yesterday to connect to this FTP server, now it just times out. I've tried other servers with FlashFXP and they work fine. Conversely, I've tried my server with Microsoft FTP and it works. Why won't FlashFXP work now?

Perhaps the ftp server is improperly configured and the PASV port FlashFXP is trying to connect to is firewalled.

I believe ftp.exe uses Active mode by default (PASV disabled).

Turned off PASV, and it connected on the first try. It was working in passive mode just yesterday with this very same server. They must have just firewalled it. Thanks for the suggestion.
