Use of Trivial FTP

Subject:Use of Trivial FTP

I'm trying to use TIdTrivialFTPServer and TIdTrivialFTP pair to transmit
a file.

On the LAN network everything is fine.

On the Internet the connection is established, but the server
"completes" immediately with a success status of "fail".  (The Client
then closes down after the timeout).

Reversing the process (client machine becomes server and server machine
becomes client) gives NO results.

I am running the Black Ice Personal Fire wall and have set that to pass
messages on the port I have selected.

I am running Norton AntiVirus with Worm Protection in which I have set a
general rule to pass messages on both the local and remote port I have
selected for both TCP and UDP, but the rule comes back stating it is for
INBOUND traffic.   I have also tried running with Worm Protection
switched Off.

Windows Firewall is switched Off.


Everything seems consistent with the server machine being unable to
transmit through this port on the internet circuit.  But why?????

Any ideas or comments from other who have solved a similar problem
would be MOST appreciated.
