grissom Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi all I have a little PHP program to automatically FTP some files from off my server to my C drive (I am running the PHP off my C drive in XAMPP), using the ftp_get() function. Today the ftp_get() function stopped working, timed out and then came back with this error message : 'Could not open data connection to port 53515' Any suggestions as to why it stopped working ? And how can I get it going again ? Many thanks for your help Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151731-solved-ftp_get-stopped-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
grissom Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hello again Think I fixed it. My Norton virus/firewall program "updated" itself automatically, and now seems to have installed some new algorithm for a thing it calls the "smart firewall" When I turned all the firewall settings off, then ftp_get() started to work again. Phew. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151731-solved-ftp_get-stopped-working/#findComment-796763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
