    I was using 4.02 on ATT dialup. Now I am using an ATT DSL. I have not tried to connect to my website in about a year. I started getting the following message...."Server Response: Server policy denies USER command on insecure connection."
    I went into Preferences and looked through the firewall settings and changed to different proxy types but now all I get is a running dog. It eventually times out. I know I have the right host, ID and password. Do I have to match an acceptable proxy setting at my host server? Could I not be even getting through my own DSL firewall?
    How do I know what the port number should be?

    I'd set the Proxy Type to "None" and try connecting again. After you get the error message choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu and post the contents; they may include clues to the problem.

    Fetch does not support SSL. I would take a look at NetFinder or Captain FTP.

    Thanks,

    I encountered the same problem. Netfinder does work with the ATT site if you download the separate OpenSSLlib Module file, unstuff and put it in the Netfinder folder.

    Too bad, I really like Fetch. :-(

    Will continue to use it for other servers. :-)
