Error with List command on login/ChDir

mkaplan · 09-13-2002, 10:17 AM

I have a couple of sites that I can not log into with FlashFXP and I am able to get in with Cuteftp Pro.
My settings are set for site uses IP Masq (or not, same thing) and non PASV. I log in but can not read the directory, it freezes until the timeout and the error msg 426 Data connection closed, transfer aborted. The log is below. I am just trying to login.

Connecting to XXXXXXX.XXX.XXX
Connected to xxxxxxx.xxx.xxx Port 21
220 Serv-U FTP Server v3.1 for WinSock ready...
USER xxxxxxx
331 User name okay, need password.
PASS (hidden)
230-Welcome to xxxxxxx xxxxxx FTP, all activities are logged. If you disagree, please log out.
230 User logged in, proceed.
SYST

PWD
257 "/" is current directory.

200 Type set to A.

200 PORT Command successful.
LIST -al
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
426 Data connection closed, transfer aborted.

Or sometimes when I play with settings I can get in the root dir (default after login) but get the same error when I try to get into any other directory.

230 User logged in, proceed.
SYST
215 UNIX Type: L8
PWD
257 "/" is current directory.

Now, here is the log from CuteFTP that works

230 User logged in, proceed.

226 Transfer complete.
STATUS:> Transfer complete.

Could it have to do with the fact that they use the LIST command while you use the LIST -al ?

How can I fix this so I can get into this and other sites with the same problem?

Running Version 2.0 RC3 build 876

Thank you.

In FlashFXP take a look at the following settings.
Preferences > Firewall Tab > Bind to External IP

Do you have this option enabled? It looks like you do and you're using the wrong ip address. If you have a NAT based router more than likely you don't need this feature.

Yes, that was the problem but my IP address there was correct

Thank you
