And finally
PWD
257 "/" is current directory.and although the window says 'connected' I still get no file list.
PS: Apologies for 3-part post.

I'd recommend checking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Fetch Preferences. Does that help?
Thanks,

Jim, tried that and it didn't make any difference.
However - I have had success now. It seems the only way I can get it to work is to uncheck PASV both in Fetch & in Network prefs and then in Sharing prefs I have to allow FTP access (assume this isn't "endangering" the machine to "attack").
I can leave the Mac built-in Firewall on.
All seems to work OK.

Just to clarify, it shouldn't matter whether PASV is chosen in Network Preferences -- Fetch only consults its own preference for that setting.
Thanks,
