Hi all,

Am running WinXP Pro SP2. And previously had been running Norton Internet Security 2003 and using WS-FTP-LE very successfully.

But sad comedy of events in a recent move; I'd missed placed my NIS2003 disks and required to reinstall the same. So I purchased NIS2005.

NIS2005 install was a breeze; IE and other applications have had no problems, with the exception of WS-FTP-LE. When attempting a connection it just sits there. Disable NIS and connection is like it used to be, quick, fast and as expected.

Does anyone or has anyone else come across a similar problem. I'm not incluned to disable NIS just for the sake of WS-FTP-LE working - seems more like a redundant work-around.

Does standard ftp command work from a "cmd" session?

If not you might need to go into NIS and explicity allow ports 20 and 21 - might be disabled by default...

I've only used NIS2003 like yourself, and never had problems with FTP.

Try removing all information regarding WS-FTP-LE from NIS 2005. Then try and run WS-FTP-LE and see if NIS 2005 warns you about the program running. You may then be able to configure the connection.

Thanks for the suggestion google, sadly I lucked out when I attempted that.

Thanks zazzybob, I tried that with no success. One of my mates suspects that there may be a NIS2005 Professional that enables direct FTP access, but I've yet to confirm that. Though I thought it was that way with NIS2003 STD and PRO versions.
