ftp connection disallowed while firewall on

[Nathan]

My first symptom was when I was trying to download teamspeak. it pointed me
to an ftp site for the download but when I clicked on it, it did nothing or
gave me 'page not found' message.

The second symptom: I try to use the command prompt function 'ftp' to a ftp
server I know works and It says that it connected but it immediately says
"connection closed by remote host."

Also, when I try to use Core FTP LE to connect to my webserver's ftp site it
couldn't even connect at all.

However, I did narrow it down a bit. I turned off my firewall from the
security center and everything worked perfectly fine.

Any insights would be appreciated.
Thank
Nathan B

That's narrowing it down more than a bit. Tell the firewall to accept FTP
connections.

In my firewall exceptions 'file transfer program' is selected. Also, I don't
need ftp coming in, I need it going out.
