Could you post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after trying with passive mode turned off? Choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu to view the transcript.
Thanks,

It looks like you're stuck between two problems. The phoenixbodies.com server is apparently behind a firewall that is blocking passive mode connections. You could ask them to fix that, but they may tell you to just use active mode.
Active mode is not working either because of a networking problem at the server side or some firewall or problem at the library. You might try connecting to ftp.fetchsoftworks.com with passive mode transfers turned off; that might tell you whether the problem is at the server end or library end. You should also be sure that the Mac OS X firewall is turned off on your Mac (in the Sharing panel of System Preferences).
Thanks,

Hi there - just got registered version of Fetch and while trying to access an FTP, it connects, says its getting files, and then eventually times out. However when i try connecting to the fetchsoftworks ftp, it works just fine. i'm on a powerbook at a public library. i've tried both active and passive modes. any ideas?
thank you-
