Thanks Joel, but I tried that passive switch and didn't work, but ...

... I found some help file on their support pages which says to  
change all text files to upload as binary! That worked well with a  
test file!  But now I don't know if it's a good thing to upload "all"  
text files in binary. Normally it's wrong, right? I want to upload  
Joomla CMS there .. a bunch of php files ... Won't this harm Joomla?

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Pieter
