netstat isn't precise enough for this to know whether a connection was
attempted or not. Try using netcap instead. (Then eyeball the .cap file
or use Ethereal to format it.) I'm not sure if FiddlerTool can trace ftp
requests (especially if Passive FTP is involved) but if so that also would be
a better tool for diagnosing this case than netstat.


Good luck
