Can't navigate to ftp pages
Hi, I'm using FF 21.0 and Win XP, sp3. I can't seem to navigate to FTP web pages. Unfortunately since I almost never use FTP, I don't know if it's the pages, or some setting on my computer. I can't find where a setting in the browser might change my access to FTP sites. Do I need to enable a setting on my computer somewhere? I can't navigate to either of two sites from FF or IE. The two sites I was trying to navigate to without success are:
(safe hardware support site for my scanner to get an upgrade plug-in).
=> ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/whql/hcl/win2000hcl.txt
(microsoft HCL text file)
I get the standard respective "unsuccessful" page load error messages in both FF & IE.
Can someone please help me by suggesting if I have to change a setting and/or verifying if these pages still exist?
Thank you!

I just tested the pages, and got the same problem. So it is not Firefox, but the pages itself.

OK -- thanks for testing it for me -- I wasn't sure! I Really appreciate your help and lightning fast response :))))
you can test if it's working on mozilla's ftp server: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/
Thanks, philipp -- really appreciate that link as well! :)
<strike>The umaxcare.com site no longer seems to exist</strike>
This site works:
- http://www.umax.com/support/index.jsp
- You may need to navigate via the support page to the page with the file that you want to download to get the correct link.
You need to use the correct case for the Win2000HCL.txt file:
