ICS and FlashFxp problem

[Owned]

Just put ICS over a couple boxes and it seems that flashfxp will log into sites but will not LIST. It stalls at that point and goes into a "Can't build data connection error".

If I uninstall ICS, everything is fine again. If anyone has any tips or solutions, I'd greatly appreciate it as flashfxp is the best ftp program around and it offers some things that most of the generics (cute, ws, etc) can't.

I think that your problem has to do with ICS blocking a port. FTP actually requires two ports.. 21 and 20. When you FTP to another host, you are connecting to its port 21, but any data transfer requires that port 20 be open on your computers. I've never used ICS, but I'm guessing that it is not allowing port 20 to be opened, hence the error you are receiving. Look for an option called "Passive FTP" in your client. Also, try Absolute FTP as I know that it does passive FTP by default. With passive FTP all data is transferred through the initial connection to the remote hosts port 21 without needing your port 20 to be opened.
