Maybe you blocked the FTP port in the firewall settings?

Hmmm. Try another FTP client? Also the 'PORT#' looks fishy.
Should be 21.
Another thing: You should configure for passive FTP. Normal FTP opens
a second connection for the data transfer. That often causes problems.
Sorry, I have no idea beyound that.

Understandable.

There is a basic ploblem with GUIs: You have to code everything
specially. That is the reason why GUIs have less functionality than
commandlines.

Not sure what you mean by the "code specially" above. If you are refering to
takeing a GUI and dumbing it down to where it runs like a "Special Ed"
commandline program then you might be right. Indeed, once you have clicked
on "new" - "win32 app" - "typical hello world app" sure enough, you got to
strip all that special stuff out of it before it will run in dumb console
mode. Must take a real linux expert to do that in the first place.

No problem.
