Hi, I'm having problems to download the initial snapshot from FTP, when the
client is behind a firewall, I guess if I change the replication transfer
mode on the FTP (Active / Passive) it could solve the problems, but I don't
know even wich mode is SQL server using to download the snapshots and if it's
possible to change the transfer mode... does anyone know wich transfer mode
uses sql and how to change it?

The error I get is "The schema script '' could not be propagated to the
subscriber."
If I monitor at the server, when the client starts the replication on IIS
appears as connected, and the agent monitor shows "Connecting to FTP" and
after about 5 minutes shows the error. The snapshot is really small, it size
is 7MB.

I'll appreciate any help,

The path to the Ftp snapshot folder is:
C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\SQLSnapshot\ftp

The user I set on the publication was SQLSnapshot...also I found these
details on the agent error, maybe it gives any clue:

The schema script '' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error number: -2147201001)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The process could not retrieve file
'C-R1$SIMANNET_Siman_C-R1_SIN1\20060312022003\snapshot.cab' from the FTP site
'c-r1.com'.
(Source: BISOFTSQL\SIMANNET (Agent); Error number: 0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The operation timed out
(Source: (OS); Error number: 12002)

I believe the ftp client uses active mode. What error message are you
getting?
