Could you choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu and post the contents after you see this problem?
Thanks,

I would choose "Preferences..." from the Fetch menu, click on the Firewall tab, and check the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" checkbox. Does that work?
Thanks,

No, switching to passive mode does nothing, neither does unchecking "use internet config" because then I can't get a conection.
Is there something else that could be causing me problems? I can get this to work on my old Mac so it's not a server or connection issue, must be a Mac OSX issue.

Do you have the OS X firewall turned on (in the Sharing panel of System Preferences)? If so I'd try turning it off (and unchecking "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" in Fetch Preferences).

Thanks for letting me in on your conversation. I too have been wrestling with the same problem and tried all of your ideas. Funny enough, I only had this problem accessing one server of all the 6 I visit on a regular basis so it didn't make sense. Your last suggestion finally worked. Thank You Thank You My only question is do I want to leave my firewall off all the time. I assume this will leave me vulnerable. I'm OK with just turning it off when I need to FTP. The only server Ihad trouble with was one that I set up - so what can I change at the server end? It was only after I upgraded to OSx.3

Does the server have its Firewall turned on? FTP basically doesn't work if there are firewalls on both the client and the server.
Thanks,

I am having problems with Fetch on my new OSX machine. When I try to "get list" the dog just runs forever. I have tried changing to passive mode - which does nothing. I have tried unchecking use Internet Config - but then I can't get a connection.
Can you help?
