500 Bind Error - Please help

[Da-Huntha]

* FlashFXP v3.0.2, build 1045, [X]registered, [ ]unregistered, [ ]pirated
* OS [ ] WinXP, [X] Win2K, [ ] Win98, [ ] WinME, [ ] Other

Now that is done,
Here what's wrong:

After my client goes into a Passive connection, the server returns a bin error, resulting to not return the list (no files shown).

FlashFXP log:

Connection is made with a local server on the LAN itself with all ports enabled and open when connecting internal.

Can someone help me?
What can be wrong?
This way i cannot see the list.

In other FTP programs, it DOES return the list,
but nothing beats FlashFXP.

I suspect the "500 bind error" might be caused by the ftp server being improperly configured.

The server doesn't support "stat -al", however you have FlashFXP configured to use it. I recommend disabling the option for this site.

[Da-Huntha]

I've disabled the FEAT and STAT -l command, but now it still does not work.
Ill consult my FTPd site and configuration and ill let know if it still occours.

Can you give me an indication of what aspects of the Server Side might be configured wrong?
Assuming the server side can be any FTPd in general.

hmm..search on google for '500 Bind Error' showed no (useful) hits.
server admin will have to figure out what that error means...

[Da-Huntha]

I am the server admin, of the server i try to connect.
I don't get the list error when connecting to other servers.
It must be something on my server, but i don't know what, since before the update i never had this problem.

[MxxCon]

you'll have to contact support for whatever server you are using, since that error has nothing to do with flashfxp

[Da-Huntha]

The problem is solved,
it indeed wasn't FlashFXP, but the FTPd.

What went wrong:

On the FTPd, Passive mode was enabled by default, directing to the same port as you connect and an outdated WAN IP, meaning, the port was already taken, and the IP couldn't "bind" because it became non exsitant.

But now it all works.

Thanks for the support anyway!
