FFXP w/ Norton Firewall

[..:::SG:::..]

I would like some help, if anyone's using flashfxp along with norton firewall 2002

whenever i connect to a server that doesn't support passive mode, i have to switch to port mode (duh), but the problem is my firewall gives me a warning and flashfxp hangs after the port command, eventually giving me a socket error. port mode works fine when i disable the firewall... i've given flashfxp full permission in the firewall, but this still doesn't fix the problem

any help would be appreciated!!

thanks in advance

do you by chance also have WinXP firewall running?

no, i made sure the built-in one was off.
i have no problems with anything else, including running an ftp server... don't know why it's not working properly with flashfxp..

i've been planning on a format and clean install of windows (spring clean!), maybe it'll work fine after that...

sounds like a configuration problem with norton firewall. I use norton firewall 2000 and it allows you to move rules up/down, you may have a rule which is blocking FlashFXP. Moving FlashFXP to the top so it's evaluated first should solve the problem
