    When I try to open a directory using Fetch, I get this message:

    Server response: Illegal PORT range rejected.

    I've no idea what this means, why it's happening, or how to fix it. I'll be grateful for your help.

    I would recommend checking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Preferences. Does that help?

    Thanks for replying. I think I saw that suggestion listed in your FAQs, but the problem is that I can't find "the Firewall section of Preferences." Are you speaking of the Prefs. in my System folder (in the hard drive)? That's what I checked. Or should I be looking at some other Prefs.? I'm really stuck; don't know what to do or where to look.

    I'm not sure my reply posted the first time, so here I go again: I can't find the Firewall section of the Preferences. Are you talking about the Preferences in my system folder, in the hard drive? If not, then which preferences? I'm really stuck and don't know what to do. Thank you for replying; I look forward to seeing your reply to this follow up.

    I was referring to Fetch's Preferences dialog box. Choose "Preferences..." from the Customize menu when you're running Fetch to open that dialog.

    Thanks,
