A few weeks ago Freeola told us to change our FTP clients to use Active transfers because of a new more secure environment. Is that still the way it is? I can't see anything in the Freeola help pages to say one way or the other. I'm using "Active" and it works OK, but someone was saying to me that its illegal (???) to disallow passive transfers.

Passive FTP Transfers should now be working, but it appears Active mode is now not working.
If possible anyone here with a Freeola hosted account can you test this for me whether active mode or passive ftp is working for you.

Hi - active and passive are both working from here on a 56K modem link, all with acceptable speed, including directory listings.
Does that mean we'll be OK now with either? Erm, so which is recommended?

Normally if you want to use a Firewall I would recommend Passive Mode, but other than that it is totally down to you which transfer mode you wish to use.
Almost forgot thankyou for testing that for me.

If you don't have a firewall, use active, if you do, use passive. That's about all there is to it. Active is marginally more efficient than passive, but active generally doesn't work behind firewalls.
