[Tutor] FW: Problem with ftplib

[Valone, Toren W.]

Luke, you were right on, our pc's at work have Mcafee and it is blocking the application, just wondering why it doesn't block C# programs.

This sounds like the error you get when your firewall is blocking 
outgoing port 21.
Do you have McAffee VirusScan?  Even though it's not a firewall,
it sometimes messes with port 21 because lots of viruses propagate 
through that port.
Generally 'software caused connection abort' means you have something 
running on your computer
that's blocking outgoing connections on that port, so it never even got 
close to talking to the host.
