   Well, Rudi wants to run the web/ftp server under XP.. did you set that up,   
   Robert?   
      
   To do that, Enriq told him there is a range of ports he must enable for   
   passive ftp.. Under linux, I don't have that problem.. I just tell bbbs to use   
   the port I want to use for the web daemon, and the ftp daemon.. I guess XP is   
   different.   
      
   Now some here have said that the range of ports enabled for passive ftp could   
   be a security problem (hammering ports, etc.).. though as Enric says, you are   
   only enabling those ports to receive not send.  This still bothers Rudi,   
   though, and some others..   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
