how do you d/l from an ftp site

[Wayne]

The PASV setting in IE is found by going to:

Tools/Internet Options

Choose the "Advanced" tab and scroll down just before the heading entitled "#### 1.1 settings". About two or three check boxes above that will be a setting that says:

"Use Passive FTP for compatibility with some firewalls and DSL modems" <---Check this.

I can't guarantee that this will fix your downloading problem, but it helps in some situations where you're behind a firewall, using DSL or Cable modem, or a NAT (Network Address Translation device) such as a DSL/Cable Router.
