Guest FB Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Custom FTP Client Vs Windows XP Firewall (SP2) - SIGEM app We have a custom FTP client app (made by a customer) used to Upload docs. Insted a standard FTP is used a home-made FTP client because the app generates a "receipt" fo the uploaded docs. We have several problems using this particular software and only if we disable XP Firewall the app works well. In the Vista OS works fine. The Firewall admin captures some traffic and observed a lot of packets with less than 4 KB with XP firewall enalbled and with Firewall disabled the size of the packets are bigger and the performance of the app really improves. The app cannont be "re-written", and i can´t change my Personal Firewall, so i´m thinking if i can change some parameter os the OS to make the FTP upload work well with the XP Firewall enabled. Even modifyinf TCP/IP parameters, they can be changed with Firewall enabled? Quote
