I like FTP Wanderer 2.04. It has a simple but pretty interface, runs from a
single EXE file, no install, and is very stable and reliable.

I use FileZilla on XP all the time with no problems - maybe you need to
try PASV mode?

Check your configuration. FileZilla woks just fine with XP.

Bob,
I've just had a look at that site and it seems there's no actual
information/description for FTP Wanderer? (unless I'm just looking in the
wrong place......?)

You have to go to Projects in the left frame. It has screenshots also.

I'm jealous of your browsing skills and patience.

Wow - *lightning* fast once I changed to Passive mode. Thanks!!! Funny I
have been using it in the normal way okay for months.
BTW - What is the difference between normal, passive and active modes?

In active mode it is assumed that the FTP server is speaking directly to
the FTP client. If the FTP server is behind a NAT (network address
transllation) router for connection sharing then the FTP client speaks
to the router which then speaks to the FTP server. The FTP client sends
a request for a file and the FTP server actively tells the client on
which port it will send the file. The NAT router then gets the file on a
port it was not expecting and then does not know where to forward it to.
In passive mode, the FTP client tells the server to be passive. The
server then will not actively select a port to fulfill requests on, but
will always choose port 20. This way things are as the NAT router can
predict and therefore knows where to forward the file to.

So, long story short, setting passive mode in the client simply changes
the client request string to let the server know to act passive.

Hope this all makes sense.

Thank you. I consider myself weak on both. Or was this a cruel hoax.

Hey, I hunted for that page twice and struck out. I even knew the page
existed because someone pointed me to it. I guess I'm dyslexic at
navigating links.

I use Filezilla with xp. I have used this program in the past which was
designed for windows and it's pretty good:
