FlashFXP and Microsoft IIS FTP

[annfinnt]

Heya,

When I try to connect to a site where I'm a admin at, I get the following error:

R] PASV
[R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,10,6,85).
[R] Opening data connection IP: 81.18.226.231 PORT: 1621
[R] Data Socket Error: Connection timed out
[R] List Error
[R] PASV
[R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,10,6,86).
[R] Opening data connection IP: 81.18.226.231 PORT: 1622

But when I enable the the option called: "use 'stat -l' to list directory, I can login fine very fast and without problems!

I also have problem accessing the ftp site with Internet Explorer.

My Windows FTp server usess port 21 and the firewall is established releated and forwarding port 21 (the firewall is set up right).

Could anyone assist me with this please... and it would be super, if you guys guide me to correct the exporer issue aswell!

Thankx in advance,

Since the ftp server is behind a firewall you will need to forward additional ports for the data channels, or you will need to use PORT mode in FlashFXP (disable "use passive mode")

Data port is port 20, that's it huh?

I've forwared that one too, still the same thing! :/

no not exactly, the data port is usually a random port number above 1024. Some ftp servers (like ioftpd and gene6 ftpd) allow you to define a specific range of ports. I'm not sure if IIS allows that.
