[Nfb-web] FTP Client With Passive FTP

[Peter Donahue]

Hello again everyone,

    Okay I've enabled Passive FTP in Internet Explorer, but cannot find a
similar setting in FTP Explorer. There is a setting called Use Firewall. I'm
not sure what this setting does, but it's unchecked by default. Perhaps I
can try checking it to see what happens.

    Perhaps this will help remedy our problem. We're using DSL. I understand
that the Passive FTP Setting is specifically for users of DSL and certain
other modems, but don't know much about it, or exactly what it does. If one
of you can enlighten me more on it I'll appreciate it very much.

    The .M3U Files are used to create streaming audio links. That's all
their function is similar to a .ASX, or a .PLS File.

I don't think uploading the .M3U files would help.
