Goddamn fucking microsoft

Been wondering for weeks why I can't FTP from the work laptop. Not via Cute FTP, not via DOS, not via IE. Not from work, not from home, not via VPN. Oh, they all connect, don't they? Just can't get a directory listing of the remove server.

Get this. In their infinite wisdom, Microsucks have decided that the PORT connection type is no longer viable. You have to use PASV instead. Even if you've got their firewall turned off.

Thanks guys. You've been a great help. When SP3 comes out, why not disable http connections, and only let https work. That'll make XP more secure, won't it???
