You're right. I added the ftp_pasv and we're working again.
$login=ftp_login($connect,$user,$pass);
if (!$login) die ("Unable to login." . $lf . $dot);
ftp_pasv($connect,true);
$down=ftp_fget($connect,$handle,$remotefile,FTP_BINARY);
But where has this firewall appeared from? The program was working OK on
both servers.
And I haven't touched anything!
