<html><head></head><body><div dir="auto">Hi Teus,<br><br>I will check the server and see if you are blocked but I hope not. The latest version of the SWORD engine uses http instead of ftp to refresh the source list, in fact it has a path to use http for every part of installing modules if the remote source is configured in such a way as to support this. Maybe there is some segment of communication between your home IP and our server which is blocking ftp traffic? Can you hit our website from your home IP?<br><br>Troy</div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto">On December 1, 2024 3:04:33 AM MST, Teus Benschop <teusjannette@gmail.com> wrote:</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
