Connection drops once PORT is issued

Hi there

Using FXP, I can't transfer files to or from this server "zion".

220 zion FTP server ready.
USER sysop
331 Password required for sysop.
PASS (hidden)
230 User sysop logged in.
SYST
215 UNIX Type: L8
REST 100
350 Restarting at 100. Send STORE or RETRIEVE to initiate transfer.

TYPE I
200 Type set to I.

PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (212,86,45,103,9,59)
PORT 212,86,45,103,9,59
Connection lost: zion
Transfer Failed!
1 File failed to transfer
Server Error, Aborted

It always loses control connection after the PORT command is issued. Any ideas?

I am using the latest version of FXP and the FTP server is proftpd 1.2.4 with the necessary "AllowForeignAddress on".

No problems transferring up or down normally with normal FTP client. Just getting this problem once the PORT command is issued.. any ideas?

I dont think you have proftpd configured correctly because loosing connection directly after issuing the PORT command is a tell tail sign that the ftp server is not configured to allow site to site transfers.
