Question Problem downloading via FTP


Whenever I try to download something via ftp (e.g. ftp://ftp.site.com/pub/whatever), Mozilla just says it's connecting. It never actually gets to the downloading part. Any ideas on why it may be doing that?

If you have a firewall running, that may be blocking
an FTP connection. If FTP download does not work,
you can try http download if they offer that.

try gftp or kbear. mozilla is always a work in progress, you may have a build with an ftp bug.
