In the past, I have been able to both ftp and ssh through my linksys
router to my server. After the CODE-RED hacks started to hit networks,
many providers like ATTBB closed port 80. I remember that several people
were complaining that ATTBI was blocking port 80. I also found that it
was not universal. My port 80 remained open. I just shut it down because
I was tired of looking at the logs.
