No miracles, just puzzles - I can still get to the dropbox just fine via 
ASIP, but not via FTP. My ISP can't figure it out either, but I'll ask 
yet again.

I have no idea if this'll work in OSX, or how, but at least in OS 9, try:

In the Chooser, select AppleShare. Click "Server IP Address" and type 
"futurebasic.org".

It'll ask you "registered user or guest", guest _should_ be disabled, so 
use registered user.

Enter user name "FBGuest", password "staz" (watch capitals!) and you 
should have the FutureBasic site mounted on your desktop. The only folder 
you should be able to access within the site is the DropBox...
