You need to use Passive mode. In Session Properties => Advanced tab, check the Passive transfers box and see if that helps. John

Hello John, Thank you very much. This was indeed the problem. As many times as I had looked at the FTP accounts that were working and those that would not, I overlooked that passive box every time. I do not know how or what made the change as this past month was the first time that these accounts did not work as they always had. My firewall settings were not supposed to have changed during the last upgrade and everything looks the same to my poor tired old eyes and I am sure that I had not made changes to my WS_FTP configuration.
