Thank you for the reply Bill... 
  please excuse my delay.

"Portbase" is something I avoided, in my effort to
keep Xitami (HTTP) listening on port 80 as usual. 
Marc's suggestion to shift the FTP port only, was
exactly what I was trying to achieve, and did work
very well across the LAN.

You have however caught my attention by mentioning the
outbound port on the firewall.  This has never been an
issue while running Xitami FTP on port-21, but may
very well have something to do with my problem when
shifting ports.

I'm assuming that the inbound and outbound FTP-port
would be the same???  If not, how would the outbound
FTP port number be determined (or designated)?

Thank you,

Rod
