Hello !

If the configuration worked before changing the server, you should be
able=20
to use the normal ftp (not passive mode). In normal mode, the server=20
connects to the client for the data channel (directory listings and file

transfers). It's a client's problem if the DATA connection could not be=20
etablished. Its strange that a server firewall would block outgoing=20
connections...


In passive mode, the server tells the client which DATA port it will be=20
listening. This range of ports must be opened on the server firewall
(the=20
ftp server generally rotates through a range of ports to avoid
connecting=20
to a port that's just being closed).
The default port is 200. You will need to open all ports in the range
200=20
to ??? (each PORT command will use another port). There is a PORT for
each=20
file transfered and each directory listed.
