I'm using an FTP program called ALFTP. I noticed that my windows firewall is blocking my FTP connection. Whenever I turn it off it seems to connect but with it on, it won't give me a connection. The program is added to my exception list. I'm guessing that I have to add port: 21 to my list. I did that, but I"m still not getting a connection. I named it
name: FTP
port: 21

help!

what FTP program do you use? or recommend? I use AlFTP because I use ALzip it's one of those bundle programs from their website. The only solution I have right now is to turn my windows firewall off and it works, but I want to keep it on while performing FTP stuff. :S

Just download and install ZoneAlarm,it will give you option of free or pro,then once done any program that connects to net, zone will send you a popup to allow/disallow all your probs solved,so far i've never had a prob,even norton firewall gave no grief besides zone is a two way firewall and windows is not

I wouldnt use it because its not made by an actual security company.

i installed the security suite but it's lagging my computer like crazy. Is it suppose to be doing this? I use to have Symantec Anti Virus Corporate Edition but I got rid of that because the Zone Alarm I installed said it came with an anti virus and spyware program.
