    Hi. I've intalled Fetch 4.0.3 over a MAC OS 9.2 . I get connected to several public FTP servers through an MS ISA Server 2000 but when i want to get connected to a certain one i get the message "cant open data conection". I tested the connection with PASV mode or without it with the same result.
    I attach the log obtained:
    (it seems i get the connection but the file list does not appear)
    log:

    That server probably has a firewall that blocks passive mode (which makes it very difficult to access, since most FTP clients use passive mode). I would contact the server administrator and ask them to support passive mode FTP.

    Alternatively you could try unchecking "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" in the Firewall section of Fetch Preferences. That may not work because of your firewall, but it's worth a try.

    Thanks,

    sorry Jim, but if you read carefully my request or topic, you will see that i've already tested the pasv unchecked. Probably my english is poor as to be understood, sorry.
    Hav you any otrer idea about the possible cause?
    Thanks a lot .

    Sorry, I missed that part. Usually when PASV does not work it is because of a firewall at the server, and if non-PASV does not work it is because of a firewall at the client. It looks like you have both of these, so your only hope is to get the server administrator to allow passive mode through his firewall.

    Thanks,
