im not sure at all..
let me start here with this...new pc, never used xp before, alwys read about ftp but when i finally got to try it here at home, i cant get any results...yet.

in or out? i guess in: i am putting like ftp://ftp.whatever.com, expecting results.

error is: FTP FOLDER ERROR
Wiindows cannot access this folder
Make sure you typed the file ................correctly

Details: This computer is disconnected from network

I have tried many different sites including this one...
As far as firewalls go, i havent installed one yet, but does xp have something alredy setup?
thnx

not every site has ftp enabled....

try:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/

So you are just trying to FTP into various sites??

As ©opy®ight said...not every one allows ftp...for various reasons.

What are you trying to do...from what it sounds like you are trying to ftp out..and it should work...depending on the site..and if your are allowed if they allow ftp in
