[B]There are two ways to login on a (FileTransferProtocol) server.
*. the server accepts anonymous login, so you need to enter:
> username: anomymous
> password: [your email or any email] [email]j.bond@007.com[/email]
2. the server does not allow anon login:
> you need to know (they must have been provided to you) the username and the password.
in this later case the password may be MD5 Hashed for your security.
In both cases the entire transfer may be using an SSL socket.
FTP standard port is 2*.

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow, but while it's on my mind I have another question...
Every computer I try to FTP, it tells me "Connection closed by remote host." I've disabled the firewall and it still doesn't work! If it's not too much trouble, can somebody please tell me how to get it to work?
The help is greatly appreciated.

*.What are you using as FTP client program to connect to FTP servers?
2.When you say <i>"Every computer I try to FTP"</i>, are you sure that these computers are running an FTP server?

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with these terms, I'm a newbie.
What is an FTP client program, and I just thought that all computer had FTP. I've been reading on some other sites, and one of them said it could be that my control connection was not open.
If you have AIM, this would be easier...
