   FTP issue, solved!

   Hi Enric,

   Oh hey, there's so much to keep track of these days ;)

   Hmm.. I opened up the port for the one I use for BBBS's Ftp (60721).. I   
   probably need to also open up the related data port in /etc/services?   
      
   bftp-data       60720/tcp                       #BBBS Bftp-data   
   bftp            60721/tcp                       #BBBS Bftp   
      
   Think I'll do that tonight in case that's the problem.. my /etc/services file   
   doesn't mention "passive", so that must be the problem here.

   It would be nice if I could get it to work as well as yours :) See, it's good   
   that your posted this message ;)

   Glad it worked for you :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
