Craig,
you should not have to use the registry to change the ports. There should be a setting somewhere in the client program. The program may save it's settings in the registry but every program I have used has it's own place to set them. I have never used the software you are using so I can't tell you where to look.

For sorting out the problems you are having I strongly suggest you get a simple FTP client such as Cute FTP at http://www.globalscape.com. Its very easy to setup and use and you can download the trial version for a quick test. Last time I purchased it I think the cost was $40. I use it all the time to solve these kind of problems as I can make sure the connection works before I start hacking away at my software. Most of the time I find the problem is on the server side with either my forgetting to turn on the passive mode or setting wrong ports or the router blocking the ports I need.

I should have told you last time that most ISPs block ports 21, 80 (HTTP) and 25 (SMTP email) so you can't run a server unless you pay big bucks for a service upgrade. This, of course, has no bearing on the client side.

One more thing. I use an FTP .DLL from http://www.marshallsoft.com/ I have used it for years and am very happy with it and the support. You can download the trial. It costs $105 for an unlimited runtime and a years support and comes with FoxPro examples.

Let me know if I can help (or confuse) any more,
John.
