Re: FTP server quit working

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's been over 2 months and I FINALLY had time to pursue this last Friday.
The employee was out with the flu so her desktop was available all day.

The fix was so simple I'm almost embarrassed to report it.  I had to allow
ports 20 and 21 through the firewall on her desktop.  Then it worked.
Sheesh.
