| ftp:// errors using IE I think my Vista security settings are preventing me from accessing a ftp web address. I keep getting the message that the website can not be found. Does anyone know how to fix this. Thanks in advance for your help. |

| I'm not sure if this will do it, but it's worth a try: Open IE > Click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Tick or Untick (depending if it's ticked or not) Use passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility). See snip. |
