Can't FTP - any ideas?

[Jim Ault]

What is the elapsed time before getting the timeout message?
Did you set the timeout to 60 seconds or something long just in case?
Default is usually 10 seconds, which should be wayyyyy long enough.
Can you use MagicCarpet or other packaged Rev app/stack to gain access?
They would be using the same lib, I believe.

Try just getting a Dir of the folder in case there is a permission to write
error blocking you.

The only Mac I have set up and working fine for ftp is running on a static
IP to the world, so that is not any help in your particular case.
