Hi Colin,

Are you sure it isn't the browser?   I know that some time ago the web 
browsers used to have FTP client functionality, but some of that has 
been removed from IE and FireFox (I'm aware of those, maybe others).

Generally speaking, the BlueOnyx server doesn't really care - in fact 
isn't aware - of whether the connecting client is a web-browser, 
command-line or commercial FTP client, so it's not making any decisions 
on whether it should work or not.   If the server works with one client, 
it'll work with all.   Which is why I recommend investigating if it 
really might be a browser issue instead.
