Hey there Ansgar,My settings were on Global Port mode, however switching to Pasv (Passive) mode made no difference.
I am using CuteFTP as my FTP Client. Kindest of regards, Hamish Stanaway, CEO Absolute Web Hosting / -= KoRe WoRkS =- Internet Security Auckland, New Zealand http://www.webhosting.net.nz http://www.buywebhosting.co.nz http://www.koreworks.com

In that case the FTP server tries to establish the data connection to the client which is then intercepted by the Windows Firewall. Try using passive mode. If you use the commandline FTP client: ftp.exe from Windows does only support active mode IIRC, so use something like ncftp [1] instead.
