I have IE6 on XP. I just noticed that Control Panel->Internet Options -> Advanced has a checkbox for "Allow Passive FTP".

I am setting time aside this weekend to test Eric's ITC.EXECUTE("","PASV"). I remember seeing white papers or help examples using EXECUTE and "PASV". I think I tried it - and got errors (back in 99). I fixed some desktop problems and got ITC to work. It's a little fuzzy - but I don't remember being explicit about the first null argument (""). I will check it out this weekend and follow up. I hope microsoft still has "Disclaimer.TXT" on her ftp site:)

>I think Eric is right, the adjustment of the IE flag isn't going to work because it wasn't even there in IE 5.00. I am beginning to wonder if it may have something to do with the version of IE they have installed or even better yet the version of wininet.dll that is installed.

>Another question I can think of it the differences of encryption from 64 to 128??? Just a thought though.
