Adding to my message of Jan 24 2004 to you:

Thom, I keep on looking at the FULL.NOS file in the 1.7b1 archive and I
can't find the PASSV option.  Of course I'm not saying that it does not
exist but it would help me if you told me where I have to look.:-)

Incidentally, when I want to transfer a large number of files to a remote
server using WS_FTP Pro, passive mode is the only mode which works.  I
suppose I should be happy that my employer has not blocked the port.
 
Take care,
