Once again, you CANNOT share databases by http.

I can download it just right.

But I cannot connect to a firebird server running on jvz.co.za
(196.25.69.13), there seems to be a firewall blocking port 3050 (firebird)
at 196.25.245.50.

If there is no firebird server running, noone can access that database other
than download it. period.
