* any other info: Windows Firewall disabled on all computers, All in the same local network 192.168.123.x. FlashFXP client runs on 192.168.123.3.
First attempt is to transfer file FSJSetup.exe from Tower to DesktopX. Next attempt is to transfer wda2320_drivers_110.zip from DesktopX to Tower.

IMPORTANT: Noticed that FlashFXP log window contents do not match actual Network traffic (Wireshark capture - not included). Specifically, PORT command on receiving server indicates FXP client IP and port and not PASV port of sending server's response (although FlashFXP log is correct). Also SIZE command sent to receiving server does not appear in FlashFXP log.

hidden size command is a feature and is working by design. It is used for a more accurate 'file skip' functionality. it's hidden so not to pointlessly spam client's session log window since result of that command is irrelevant for the end user.

the fact that in the 1st transfer attempt DesktopX is getting wrong PORT command, while flashfxp is sending the right one usually means you have some network device between computer running FlashFXP and those servers monitor ftp traffic and rewrites PORT command to have client's IP thinking that its helping with NAT translation.

if you'll move your ftp servers to a port other than 21, your router won't messing with your traffic and FXP transfers will work.

Hey, I didn't expect to get an answer on weekend. Thanks.
Also, you're absolutely right. I forgot to turn off Windows Firewall on client machine. When it's off, FXP transfers work fine. However, it's not recommended to have it always off so could you point me to a thread (I assume this has been explained somewhere) that details Windows Firewall customization to avoid FXP PORT command rewrite?
Thanks again

edit flashfxp.ini and add FxpNatTrick=1 under [Main] section.
restart flashfxp and try again

Hey, it solved the issue.
Very clever to break up the FTP segment involving the PORT command but I think this trick won't work behind a firewall appliance (they gather a complete TCP segment before analyzing the traffic). I assume FtpNatTrick does a similar fixup for FTP behind firewall.
Thanks for the superb support!
