Got it! I sat and read through my files and setup this weekend, and kept coming back to why FBSD ftp works when Windows/NextStep doesn't - they both have to traverse the same firewall, with the same rules, so it should either work or not work for all of them (assuming the ftp client is behaving in the same way). So I concluded that FBSD ftp was working differently than Windows and NextStep ftp. Went in again in the "advanced" setup of Explorer 5.5 and 6.0, lo and behold there was a "passive ftp" check box that I had checked previously, now was unchecked! Checked it off, restarted expolorer, and ftp works. Went into my NextStep ftp clients hoping to find a similar configuration variable, no luck. It seems they don't have passive options (might not have existed then, the software is from 1993-1996). The NextStep browser (OmniWeb) did have Passive ftp as an automatic settable default, so that worked as well (why it didn't work before is beyond me, I'm just glad it works now...). Thanks again for all the help, it made troubleshooting easier having a discussion forum to bounce ideas off of. My next question has to do with setup of mpd-netgraph (pptp), I'll send more in a separate posting.
