Hi,

I used to be able to FTP in my laptop. However, my HDD crashed recently and I had it replaced. Since then I am unable to FTP at all. I tried using 3rd party FTP client like CuteFTP and BestFTP, I tried using IE, I tried using cmd but none worked for me. I would be connecting to the remote host and about 20 seconds later, I would receive the message "Remote host had closed the connection" or the FTP client would be trying to re-connect to the remote host again.





I've tried uninstalling SP2 on my Windows XP. I've tried reinstalling SP2 on my Windows XP. I've tried disabling all firewall. I've tried adding port 21 and my FTP clients as the exceptions in the firewall setting. I've used passive mode in the FTP clients. I've googled but none of the solutions helped.

More information:

Computer: Toshiba Tecra 9100 (I've tried emailing Toshiba for help, and they replied "Toshiba Global Support Centre do not support notebook which are out of warranty." So mean!)

OS: Windows XP with SP2 installed



Thank you for your helps in advance! :) Much appreciated!
