Passive mode vs Active and [R] Opening data connection IP: xxx PORT: 1385

[Kar Laeda]

[R] Opening data connection IP: xxx PORT: 1385

port itself is not open by the router, 1201 is tho, passive mode just keeps on trying different ports every time, how do I set it up? And every time I switch to active mode i dont even see folders/files when i finally connect, yes i have permissions etc.

Any ideas?

Is the ftp server properly configured to allow passive mode?
If it is try checking "use site ip for passive mode connections" in the Site Manager / Options tab

Are you behind a router? If you are you need to forward the proper ports to use active mode. Also set the port range in FlashFXP within your allowed incoming range.

Yes it is.

The client is not behind a router altho, the server is, when i just connected to it this evening, had to ask a friend to open up ports 1200-1299 for me but then as i reconnected the port number in passive mode used went up to 1400, and i cannot allow those ports to be open as it is not my server.

Also set the port range in FlashFXP within your allowed incoming range.

Only found that option for active mode, is there one for passive? If there is can you point it out for me please?

Oh one more thing, i did connect and see all the folders succesfully until the passive mode started using ports for opening data connection beyond 1300.

you can't. when you send PASV command, you ask SERVER for ip and port to connect TO.
you don't need to open ports for that..unless your firewall is blocking outgoing connection TO ports(highly doubt it)

according to that reply, that server is misconfigured for internet connections.
tell site's admin to fix it.
