flashFXP hangs after a couple of minutes

roger.shone · 09-18-2005, 08:34 AM

I am connecting to a site that supports pret through a firewall on my desktop machine, and have set up all the routes through the firewall etc so I can get a transfer started. The problem is after around 100mb flashFXP hangs and the only way to get up and running again is to end the program in task manager and then restart and reload the queue.

On my laptop everything is fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Roger

can you please include a copy of the ftp session log.

This is the last part of the log file:

[R] PASV
[R] 500 You need to use a client supporting PRET (PRE Transfer) to use PASV
[R] PORT 192,168,0,55,16,229

The PRET error is intermittent - I've set the pc to operate through the DMZ port of my firewall. At this point, flashFXP just hung . . .

All suggestions welcome!
