The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it.

Zone: Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

See the attached code (670 lines)

This class enables FTP ing via visual basic. I got it free on the internet !! Only problem is, it doesn't work when the target server is running windows firewall.

I caught it in the debugger and the problem is in Private Function CreateDataSocket, on the line "s.Connect(ep)"

The variable "port" in the program is programmatically generated and is a different number each time. Windows firewall is also rejecting other ports as in the below pfirewall.log:

#Version: 1.5
#Software: Microsoft Windows Firewall
#Time Format: Local
#Fields: date time action protocol src-ip dst-ip src-port dst-port size tcpflags tcpsyn tcpack tcpwin icmptype icmpcode info path

So ports 1196 and 1048 were attempted on different calls.

Any ideas how to fix this program so it can work just through port 21 ?

thanks
