Problem transferring files

oaa · Post by **oaa** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 4:54 pm

Since I installed a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) I've been unable to transfer files with ftp. I've now unplugged the router, but it still won't work.
I've tried with PASV both enabled and disabled. (View->Options->Connections->"PASV connections for transfers" as well).

I'll post the messages I get:

[...]

Then it just goes on and on and on like that.
Anyone experienced a similar problem?
A solution to this will be greatly appreciated.

You are trying to connect using active transfers (PORT), not PASV.

Check the PASV setting in your site profile (black not gray).

Your connection should look like this (see PASV highlighted)..

Like I said, I've tried with PASV both enabled and disabled, and it does look a bit like yours there with PASV enabled but I still can't transfer files. Still getting the same error message..

It's probably a quota issue. I'd try deleting any files not needed and then uploading again.

Can you upload a small test file named something different?

I tried to upload a .doc file and that worked fine.
It could've been a quota problem but I've only used half the quota.
I also tried to make a folder from inside core ftp and put .jpg files in it one by one but it still wouldn't work.

Strangest thing..

Oh, ok. If that's the case, then all I can do is wait. Everything seems fine my end. Thanks for the help anyway mate, I'll report back if it starts working again.
