FTP Question

Hello Everyone,

	The handler below used to work when I was running Panther, but no  
longer under Tiger.

on mouseUp
   put "Now this field is empty." into fld "x"
   libURLSetFTPMode "active"
   get url ("ftp://username:password@IPAddress/Users/username/ 
Documents/Folder/theFile.txt")
   cleanLineEndings it
   put it into fld "x"
   put "Lines:" && the number of lines in it  & cr & \
       "The result:" && the result into fld "X"
end mouseUp

on cleanLineEndings @pText
    replace crlf with return in pText
    replace numToChar(13) with return in pText
end cleanLineEndings

	I'm simply trying to download a text file from a remote Mac that  
acts as a server.  On the remote Mac, I have enabled FTP Access in  
Sharing preferences, enabled Passive FTP mode, enabled the firewall,  
and have even tried creating a separate firewall rule (opening ports  
20-21, 1024-65535).  I have toggled each of these settings and have  
tried with the firewall turned off, but nothing seems to work.  The  
result of my "get URL" command is empty.  I verified that I am able  
to connect using Interarchy, an FTP client.

	Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
