ryy705 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hello, I hope that this is the right forum for this. There are some ftp servers out there that I cannot connect to without using dream weaver. However, I want to move to linux. I have tried to use Filezilla and Fireftp to connect and both have failed. They both establish a connection but fail to get directory listing and the connection times out after several attempts. Has anyone encountered a similar problem before? I am posting the info displayed by Filezilla while trying to make a connection. I hope it helps.(I have replaced the IP and username.) I will be extremely grateful if someone could help me out with this. I'm am stumped. Status: Resolving IP-Address for www.site.com Status: Connecting to xx.xx.xxx.xxx:21...

crtreedude Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 For Linux, I use the SFTP protocol with Filezilla and it works very well. I am sure I could setup FTP, but it wasn't setup on my Linux box, and so I didn't bother. Hope that helps. Often if you are using FTP you need to set passive mode if it isn't working at first.

steviewdr Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Ya, thats more than likely the problem - passive mode. In filezilla -> Edit drop-down menu -> Settings. Underneath Connection -> FTP - Transfer Mode - Passive (tick this). -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135831-cannot-use-ftp/#findComment-708458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryy705 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thank you for your reply. Passive mode is selected by default. As you can see in my previous post the connection is established then Filezilla enters passive mode using the PASV command but fails when it executes the LIST command. I have been at it for weeks now. I appreciate any help you can give me.

steviewdr Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Try disabling passive mode? It could be that your pc/client needs passive while the server might not allow passive mode. Try this: http://winscp.net/download/winscp418.exe http://winscp.net/eng/download.php It has support for ftp and does not need to be installed even -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135831-cannot-use-ftp/#findComment-708908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryy705 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Can you recommend a similar program for linux? I couldn't find anything that works. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135831-cannot-use-ftp/#findComment-709525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 There is gftp which is a graphical ftp client for linux. -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135831-cannot-use-ftp/#findComment-709580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
