Title: FTP - WIN
Post by: scottcamp on October 25, 2004, 10:02:05 am

when I connect to our data center using ftp -win on pc1, I connect, but no folders show. I can use ftp win on pc2 and it does fine. I can also connect to the data center on pc1 via ftp pro fine. I reinstalled the software, with same results. It seems to be limited to this one computer, and only ftp - win.  Any ideas?

Passive vs Active FTP mode issue.

For an individual site, select the site and click on advanced
The top option is PASV. You probably need to turn that on if it's not already. If it IS on in rare cases you may need to turn it off.

To set this globally for all new sites, do:
View->Options
There is a checkbox called Use PASV for All Sites
Set this as in the individual site example above.

I need to know about ftp-win, not ftp pro. ftp pro works fine

Hmmm, Ftp-Win only does active mode. Since some of your machines work and others don't (and I assume they are all on the same lan), you either have a firewall that is allowing some machines to make an active connection and others that do not, or else you have XP SP2 and it's blocking ftp-win.

You could test the command line ftp (start->run  ftp somehostname )
It also can only do active transfers (you'll get a connect but you won't be able to do a directory or get a file).

They are all on the same lan, and it's only 1 pc out of 20 that cannot do ftp-win. I double checked the cheezy sp2 firewall, it's off, and the traffic to our data center passes through a frame relay, not over the internet so it doesn't hit our firewall except for the route put in to turn it around to the F.R.

Ugh.
Are the PC's all using the same login and password??
Same host? (perhaps the name is the same but the IP address is different)
Same version of Windows?
Did windows ftp work??

Nobody uses the same user/pass. But I can use My user/pass on my pc, and it works, then go to the other one, use My user/pass and it doesn't work. We all go to the same IP, and using XP sp2. I've tried a couple FTP programs. It's only happening with FTP-WIN on this one pc. Yep...I'm always lost...

Ok, then how about the stuff in the little debug window. Is it the same on a machine that works and one that doesn't?

Debug window? The options menu? yes, they are the same.

Try changing the windows directory then do a refresh on the unix side. Other than that, I'm pretty much out of ideas.
