I haven't meant firewall on the server. Rather, I've meant firewall on your workstation (for example the WinXP default one).

Please make sure that WinSCP is not blocked by some firewall per-application rule.

I have a peer to peer network with a freebsd apache2 webserver and a win2k client connected by a crossover cable. I can connect using putty but I cannot using winscp. It worked before so I am at a loss. the freebsd log files say connection refused authentication timed out.
