Making FTP client work inside virtual machine

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I did not find an answer on searching for it.

Can I make Filezilla work from inside a virtual machine running Windows 7? I have a hardware firewall, as well, but that does not get in the way if I run Filezilla on the host. From inside the VM, I am usually unable to get a directory of the remote machine, though I did once. When I got the directory, and tried to download files, I had a failure rate of almost 20%, and performance that would do credit to a 56Kb/S modem.

Have you tried Bridge mode for the Guest ?

I thought that I had, but it turns out that was the solution. Thanks.
