FTPs...........

If you go to the CMD prompt and enter FTP,
then enter the command open ftp.250free.com

you will notice that their welcome screen tells you:
Code: 
Downloads are not currently permitted
through FTP.  Please use your 250Free
URL to download files.
Does that answer your question?
 
Whats the CMD prompt? I made a thing on My Network places... heres the message...

That's the problem with windows applications, you don't get to see what gets sent back from the FTP request. If you try FTP the old fashioned way. (start.. run.. ftp ) you will get a command prompt window open up. If you then type in open ftp.250free.com (and press enter) you will see the message that I just posted.

(to exit from the window just type by (and press enter). )

It seems to imply that 250free is not allowing FTP transfers. I'd imagine that they provide a HTTP based interface for file transfers and now want you to use that as the prefered method to upload files.

I don't know anything about 250free, I'm just going by the message I am seeing from the FTP prompt. I did a quick reckie and found that they have got a forum of their own. Have you tried posting a message on there?
 
Yeah, no one answers on threre.. I opened the command prompt and typed open ftp.250free.com and it told me: 'open' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I don't know what to do..

Ah we seem to be getting our "prompts" mixed up.

If you goto Start.. Run.. CMD (or command), this will put you at the command prompt.

Once at the command prompt you can issue the command FTP. This will then put you at the FTP prompt.

You can actually shortcut this process by going to Start.. Run.. FTP This will then put you at the FTP prompt directly.

From the FTP prompt you can then issue the command open ftp.250free.com

Infact you can shortcut the whole process by just going to Start.. Run.. FTP ftp.250free.com This will drop you straight into the FTP prompt at the login prompt

Like I say. to exit from FTP you just issue the command by Although you'll have to press enter twice (because it will take the first entry as your username, the next as your password.)
