Re: FTP blocked in vista

How did "I had to update my FTP server" turn into a discussion about MS renting software?

Are people *THAT* eager to attack MS? Maybe it's an honest to goodness glitch. There are other resources for looking into these kinds of things.

They just cant take that to be a given for them to do whatever they want with our computer systems, our bandwidth, our internet connections and all without notifying us.

Re: FTP blocked in vista

There is a setting in Features that is unchecked by default. Have not tested it.

Re: FTP blocked in vista

I haven't used an FTP site since the Cute days. I do know the Vista firewall is a little picky. Have you tried disabling it?

Buy Vista?! BTW I didn't notice how old this thread was at first, but the sentiment still applies.

The date is still there. It's been moved. It's harder to see in a white colored font.

The date was easier to find and it was easier see in the previous location.

You would have to read the user agreement that comes with the software. MS isnt the only company that does this.
