Connecting to FTP's using FlashFXP.
Lets say you found this link:
IP:
www.xxx.yyy.zzz
Port: ppppp
Username: aaa
Password: bbb
No passive Mode
Hammer settings: Block IP for 12 hrs. If 2 connections in 61 sec.
or
ftp://aaa:bbb@www.xxx.yyy.zzz 
pppp/
Lets go over what is above:
The IP Can be a set of numbers or a address.
Like 111.222.333.444 or ftptest.myftp.org ect.
The FTP Client will translate the address to the needed numbers.
The Port number can be almost any value.
The defualt vaule is 21.
But do not use: (This a short list of ports. There are more.)
7(Echo)
23(TELNET)
25(SMTP)
53(DNS)
79(Finger)
80(HTTP)
110(POP3)
113(Ident)
119(NNTP)
139(NetBios)
143(IMAP)
161(SNMP)
162(SNMP Trap)
443(HTTPS)
Somtimes the links will show as
www.xxx.yyy.zzz pppp
The ppppp after the colon will be the port number.
The username & password can be almost any combo of letters/numbers.
Passive Mode:
Almost all ftp servers support passive mode. If not the ftp owner should post not to use Passive mode. If you timeout while connecting to a ftp disable passive mode then try again.
Hammer settings:
This is up to the ftp owner The norm is NO MORE THEN 1 CONNECTION IN 61 SECONDS.
Now lets setup this up.
Open FlashFXP
On the command bar open FTP.

Enter the retry count you want in the Retry Count box. (5)
