Windows FTP

[Paul Palacios]

We have actually made mods to FileZilla to support the CCC command to
allow use through a firewall (firewall could not follow state and port 
commands while in 'private' or 'safe' mode. It wouldn't take too much 
effort to have it set the xfer channel to 'C'lear.

If you still need it, email me directly (may not be considered 
appropriate discuss possible mods to FZ in this list :-) ).
