Hi,

I am having problem with microsoft ftp service with
widnows firewall. Below is the trace from the command
line. Windows ftp client will work just fine with, or
without firewall. curl works fine if I turn the
firewall off. Is there a way to enable curl to work
with the ftp service behind firewall? Thanks for your
help.
