Guest Olen R. Pearson Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 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!!!!!!!!!!!

In this, your computer attempts to connect to a port (2223) on the server, specified in the server's reply to your PASV instruction. Failure is usually due to either the server having a misconfigured firewall, or your computer having a firewall that blocks outbound connections to certain port-ranges. It may also be a problem with a router. You can try active mode and see if that works better, though some investigation into the problem may be needed. http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
Guest Olen R. Pearson Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Re: BIG FTP Problem Thanks!! That was good info that lead me to the problem. While trying to configure my wife's work computer to our network, some of the router settings had been changed. These were reset to default and all works well. Thanks again.
