Is it possible in SB8?

[NewsArchive]

In my app I allow FTP of files to a fixed url on the net. That appears to
work perfectly except with sites running Win 8.1. Is there any reason why
Win 8.1 blocks this? I am using NetTalk to dothe FTP.
Thanks

Many companies block FTP connections by default. We stopped supporting
built-in FTP functionality from the install runtime more than 10 years ago.

IMO, your problem is caused by the new WinInet FTP bug (not directly related
to Windows 8.1). There seems to be a known major FTP problem with the
updated WinInet components that comes with Internet Explorer 11 (included in
Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 with IE upgraded to version 11). Download is
okay, but upload fails. Many FTP programs do rely on the WinInet and have
problems. Perhaps NetTalk also uses WinInet? As far as I know, there is no
known workaround available.
