Hi,

It just seems odd, as this FTP site worked fine with internet explorer
before. - no errors at all.

Thanks,

Don't know about the last error, but the illegal PORT is typically seen
when trying to use active FTP from behind a firewall that does not
support it.

Command-line MS FTP clients don't support passive mode and I have heard
reports that IE does not also. If that is the problem you'll have to
switch to a Linux box or find a windows FTP client that supports
passive.
