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.

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.

This is the key section:
[2008.08.29 05:05:52.411] PASV
[2008.08.29 05:05:52.461] 227 Entering Passive Mode (209,92,50,51,8,175)
[2008.08.29 05:05:52.461] connecting data channel to
209.92.50.51:8,175(2223)
[2008.08.29 05:06:13.411] PORT 192,168,0,3,5,54
[2008.08.29 05:06:28.923] Error reading response from server.
[2008.08.29 05:06:28.923] Port failed

It tells you that the attempt to open a passive- mode data channel failed.
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.
