You'll have to make changes to either the FTP server config or a change in the windows registry (if using IIS). What FTP server is that?

u cant connect to flashfxp since its a client and no server, u can only use it to connect to 1 or more ftp servers, just like internet explorer to connect to a http site

oh, thanks for that so what would u suggest i use to as the "server" so i am able to fxp?

well if u want to transfer files to or from another server u dont need your own, you just connect to it choose the files and hit transfer, fxp is needed if u lets say are in germany, 1 server is in sweden and one in the US and u want to transfer files from the server in sweden to the server in the US.

if u want people be able to download something from u, then u need a ftp server, for example raidenftpd, serv-u, ws-ftp, or something similar.

Most "professional" FTP servers have FXP disabled by default, you'll have to modify the FTP server config to allow it. That's why I asked which FTP server software you were using.

That link in my previous post shows how to enable FXP on a few FTP servers.

That means you won't be able to FXP from that site, unless the site doesn't know that it's not you downloading... To try that, enable 'Alternative site to site method - Downloading' for that site in the connection options. If the site that gives the error is the site your are sending to, try 'Alternative site to site method - Uploading'.
