Re: problems using different different FTP port with windows firewall

Why 8001? I don't you limit the number in the interval 0-1023?
8001 is a registered port. Because of standardization it is possible that
you firewall to not operate with the upper range ports.
There is a site that best describes every port ... Google it

Port Designations

TCP/IP has 65,536 ports available. As you can imagine, some ports are used
much more than
others. Ports are divided into three main groups or designations as follows:

Well-known ports These port numbers range from 0 to 1,023. These are the
most commonly
used ports that have been used for the longest period of time.

Registered ports These port numbers range from 1,024 to 49,151. Registered
ports are used
by applications or services that need to have consistent port assignments.
These ports, like the
well-known ports, are agreed upon by most organizations for standardization
of use.

Dynamic or private ports These port addresses range from 49,152 to 65,535.
These ports are
not assigned to any particular protocol or service and can therefore be used
for any service or
application.

It is common for applications to establish a connection on a well-known port
and then move
to a dynamic port for the rest of the conversation. It's important that you
understand port numbers,
because you may be configuring them for communication purposes as well as to
provide
filtering and therefore prevent communication of specified applications or
services.

Use the upper ports (>49.152)

Let me know if this solved your problem ...

Which FTP client are you using?

Re: problems using different different FTP port with windows firewall

what is called
diversion, he is unhappy and more unhappy than the least of his subjects who
plays and diverts himself.

Hence it comes that play and the society of women, war and high posts, are
so sought after. Not that there is in fact any happiness in them, or that
men imagine true bliss to consist in money won at play, or in the hare which
they hunt; we would not take these as a gift. We do not seek that easy and
peaceful lot which permits us to think of our unhappy condition, nor the
dangers of war, nor the labour of office, but the bustle which averts these
thoughts of ours and amuses us.

Reasons why we like the chase better than the quarry.

Hence it comes that men so much love noise and stir; hence it comes that the
prison is so horrible a punishment; hence it comes that the pleasure of
solitude is a thing incomprehensible. And it is, in fact, the greatest
source of happiness in the condition of kings that men try incessantly to
divert them and to procure for them all kinds of pleasures.

The king is surrounded by persons whose only thought is to divert the king
and to prevent his thinking of self. For he is unhappy, king though he be,
if he think of himself.

This is all that men have been able to discover to make themselves happy.
And those who philosophise on the

said,
Yes. Then she asked her, whether she loved God better than her little
sister Rachel. She answered, Yes, better than any thing! Then her elder
sister, referring to her saying she could find God now, asked her, where
she could find God. She answered, In heaven. Why, said she, have you
been in heaven? No, said the child. By this it seems not to have been
any imagination of any thing seen with bodily eyes, that she called God,
when she said, I can find God now. Her mother asked her, whether she was
afraid of going to hell, and if that had made her cry? She answered,
Yes, I was; but now I shan't. Her mother asked her, whether she thought
that God had given her salvation: she answered, Yes. Her mother asked
her. When? She answered, Today. She appeared all that afternoon
exceeding cheerful and joyful. One of the neighbors asked her, how she
felt herself. She answered, I feel better than I did. The neighbor asked
her, what made her feel better. She answered, God makes me. That
evening, as she lay a-bed, she called one of her little cousins to her,
who was present in the room, as having something to say to him; and when
he came, she told him, that heaven was better than earth. The next day,
her mother asked her what God made her for? She answered, To serve him;
and added, Every body should serve God, and get an interest in Christ.

The same day the elder children, when they came home from school, seemed
much affected with the extraordinary change that seemed to be made in
Phebe. And her sister Abigail standing by, her mother took occasion to
counsel her, now to improve her time, to prepare for another world. On
which Phebe burst out in tears, and cried out, Poor Nabby! Her mother
told her, she would not have to cry; she hoped that God would give Nabby
salvation; but that did not quiet her, she continue
