I transfer files between a remote server and my local computer (windows 10) using firefox and FireFtp. When I try to transfer .xlsm (a macro enabled excel file) the transfer is blocked, here is the error message "550 Permission denied. (File type not permitted by Firebox policy)

/Robert Norris/173074NC_N1.xlsm"

Is there a setting that will allow me to transfer .xlsm files?

Hi

This sounds more like an issue with the Fireware software that you have installed, rather than an issue with Firefox.

It looks like there is a Firewall setting that you will need to change and the Fireware support site should be able to help you with this.
