Which ports uses the server ftp.ni.com to set up an FTP connection?

Hi,
I need to download software like VISA 3.2, 488.2 2.4 GPIB driver and others from ftp.ni.com.
I can't get any connection to the server from the LAN inside my company. There is no problem when I'm at home, so it may be caused by the firewall here.
Therefore I need to know the correct FTP ports used by ftp.ni.com. Are these the well-known-ports 20, 21 or special ones?

Thanks and greetins

If you are having problems with a firewall at work, switch to http. That way you don't have to bother the IT department too much, after all they are busy people Smiley Wink.

Try the following here
http://ftp.ni.com/support/

Now there is a chance that the firewall may prevent downloading of exe's.
Good luck.

I headed a european companys IT infrastructure for a couple of years, as part of my job; I don't speak lightly. I must say that I am gald to be out of it though. It wasn't the job it, was the attitudes; when the chance came to 'jump ship' I leapt with no thought for a life belt.

Users never felt they got enough support, control for reliability was seen as restrictive and security was 'stopping them from working'. Management always had better places to spend thier budget and accountants still think they know all about IT. The moneys not so good now but life is a lot better and far more relaxed.Smiley Happy and I get to poke fun at IT people epecially when they say 'what do you know', I just smile.

Finally I discoverd what I believe to be a basic truth, some learn to feed themselves and others will always need spoon feeding.Smiley Tongue

P.S. If the reply helped, consider spending five of those stars that you have in your budget.Smiley Very Happy
