Guest Howard - JC Publishing Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I need to run ftp through the Windows CMD window. That works fine except I need to change to PASV [passive] mode. How di I change to that setting? Thank you.

But Ftp has never supported mode changes. That's why so many other free ftp programs are available. ie. Filezilla. I have found sftp from 'move it freely' that is replacement for the ftp.exe from MS. sftp is a secure ftp but is has commands to change passive and active modes. http://www.ipswitchft.com/products/moveit/client/freely/?k_id=moveit55freely&k_id=ipswitchft_com_moveit_documents_worldwide_moveit55release-moveitfreely

Guest ~~Alan~~ Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Re: ftp in Windows command window I had a problem a while back using both IE and CMD.

If you're behind a NAT router neither command will work in active mode.

Can you recommend a way to get through it? *TimDaniels*

But there will be a router in the way. >Can you recommend a way to get through it? Well, there's always a router in the way, you can't get anyplace without one. If the router is doing NAT (Network Address Translation), then you need to run your FTP client in passive mode. The built-in command-line FTP client won't do that, but there are quite a few GUI clients that will. CuteFTP and WS-FTP come to mind, there are many others. If the router is not doing NAT, then your client can run in active mode. Just about any client will do that. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

Dang you're right. At least it says "entering passive". I personnally don't have the issue but have seen it screw up on some of my servers. I guess this is an undocumented feature? I've always used another sftp.exe and it is documented to support PASV as a command. Thanks, one more little mystery of life solved. That only took 2 years.... :-)
Guest ryanoasis Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Re: ftp in Windows command window Yeah actually one of the ftp servers I use still won't allow me to upload even after switching modes. I am curious can you now upload, download , and view files? I wanted to use windows ftp for batch purposes but I have found another ftp server that doesn't force me to specify passive.

I write a window database application and routinely have to export data and ftp to sites. So all over the US I find one now and then that has this issue. My scripts are simple and seem to work regarless of ftp.exe or sftp.exe except we add the PASV command.
