Guest Olen R. Pearson Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Hi, I am having a very odd problem with FTP. Basically, it won't work. The FTP client seems to connect but then issues an error and no files appear on the remote server. The last time I needed to use FTP was in February of this year, and it worked fine. Now, when I try it, it goes nowhere. I have tried several different FTP clients and accounts, all with the same outcome. It is not a firewall problem; I run only Win XP Pro firewall and have tried it with that disabled + anything else that even MIGHT effect connections. I have tried it in Safe Mode with no success which makes me think it is not a conflict with another app - though I don't believe I have added anything lately. I am attaching the Session Log from WS_FTP Pro to the end of this note in case that might help. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything progressed smoothly until your client issued the command: PORT 192,168,0,3,5,54 Your client told the server to communicate with it using the IP address 192.168.0.3 -- which is the local IP address of your machine behind your router. This is a 'local' address and is not routeable on the internet. When the server switched over and tried to communicate over the internet using this [local] address, everything stopped. Some servers are smart enough to recognize this and basically ignore it but this server does as it's told, apparently. You might try using a different FTP client. I would recommend "Filezilla". It's fairly good and it's free and its configuration allows for some latitude when having problems like this. <http://filezilla-project.org> Another solution is to connect your computer directly to the internet (in place of your router) long enough to make your transfer.
