This can sometimes occur if your firewall isn't properly configured to allow FlashFXP access.

[Kayzer]

ok!
Firewall disabled!
Problem persist!!

any other idea?

Disabling your firewall isn't the solution because in most cases even though it's disabled it will continue to block previously blocked applications.

anotherwords, dont just disable it, uninstall it.

what FW is it btw?

[Shark]

Are you having any other problems with the internet ?

Have you tried any other FTP programs ?

etc

[Kayzer]

i've tried reget and it work fine but i don't know if is the same thing, then i tried ftp command line from doswindow and do the same of flashfxp

kay

[Kayzer]

yes i tried some other thing like newsgroup with no problem,
Netscape and IE works fine, i don't use outlook or similar cause
i'm using a free internet provider for mail

Kay

[MidKnight]

most like your firewall blocking it. try uninstalling that FW and try again

that message means ffxp(or your computer) couldn't convert "sunsite.unc.edu" into ip address...which means it's a dns problem.
to find out if it's a problem with flashfxp itself or elsewhere, open command prompt and type
nslookup sunsite.unc.edu
the output should look something like this

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    sunsite.unc.edu
Address:  152.2.210.81

if you get some type of error that means something could be wrong with your ISP's dns servers.

"[R] Connecting to 137.204.65.1 -> IP=137.204.65.1 PORT=21
[R] Connection failed (10022: Invalid argument)"

as for this error..i'm not sure...it could be your firewall problem..also consider scanning your system for spyware, some of it can replace normal winsock file with their own modified/broken version.

[Kayzer]

oh guyz!

The FW is the McAfee Personal Firewall Plus V6.0.6014

unistalling FW doesn't seems a good idea...
so... i've tried again ftp from doswindow and it works fine
connecting to sunsite in a while...

Don't know if it'll help;according to Google:

WSAEINVAL (10022)

Invalid argument.

Some invalid argument was supplied (for example, specifying an invalid level to the setsockopt function). In some instances, it also refers to the current state of the socket - for instance, calling accept on a socket that is not listening.
