this is a ftp server reply message, it's simply informational.. it could say anything depending on the ftp server software.

There is nothing wrong.

there is something wrong

because EVERY ftp server does it.. EVERY one

and it never happened b4..

[Linkster]

hah, you totally missed bigstar's point...it is an information message that now shows up...its NORMAL...every ftp will do it...don't worry about it.

Just look at it and think about it...

226 Transfer finished successfully. Data connection closed.

Basically it says, the transfer finishes, so the data stops sending... its logical isn't it ?

I'd hope that once the file finishes that it stops sending data if it didn't you would be in some trouble... hehe

Hope this makes sense to you, its what it SHOULD be doing...

why did it never do it b4?

maybe you never payed attention to that msg?
maybe before all your transfers were incomplete?

but "226" is a normal transfer complete message.

FTP works using 2 types of connection. "control connection" and "data connection".
control connection is the one where you see all these messages..
data connection is where dir list and files are being transfered.
after file transfer is done client/server closes data connection.

yet it doesnt happen @ my friends house?

and it never used to happen..

[MxxCon]

did you read all those posts above?
what people are telling you is THIS IS NORMAL TRANSFER COMPLETE MESSAGE
why it doesn't happen to your friend or why it didn't happen to you before i don't know.
if you want more proof that "226" is a normal message, read RFC 640 or any other RFC that explain how FTP protocol works. i don't know what else to say
