Sounds like a firewall problem. But why don't you use SFTP instead? On Windows you can use WinSCP, Filezilla and the commercial SSH client. On FC3 you might be able to use Nautilus as a SFTP client.
Thanks Alexander but what I really need is KISS U -> Keep It Simple for Simple Users.
I doubt it's a firewall problem since the same machine running XP is easy and flawless, and using FC3 there is a connection but it is limited to "pwd" and "cd" and will not allow ls, or get or send; which kinda important.
The last ftp user (sales-type) that needed to download a large presentation needed step-by-step instructions that went like... 1. on the windows Start Menu 2. choose Run 3. enter command.com [don't forget to press the Enter key] 4. when you see a little black box enter blah blah blah for many more lines
"ftp myserver.net, log on as 'anonymous', enter 'get filename.ppt''" is challenging enough but is universal to all machines and fairly idiot proof - on Windoze machines.
...unless it's my server running proFTP and getting a connection from _FC3_ ftp. My question is how to KISS just plain old ftp from FC3?
I think he meant it's a firewall issue on the FC3 *client* side. If you disable the client's firewall, does it work?
