FXP'ing between active and passive ftp's

evitaerc · 01-09-2003, 06:55 PM

How can I fxp from a passive ftp to an active ftp? Or...as the administrator of the active ftp, would it be easier to set the active ftp (running using winxp iis) to passive, and if so...how?

Thanks

no, only on one. doesn't matter which, as long as you check proper box (download or upload)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I still can't fxp the files. I changed the settings in site manager for the non passive ftp. I put a check mark in the box downloading (NOT PASV) I also unchecked the box that says Use Passive Mode. Before doing this I wasn't able to connect to the site at all, now I can connect but when I try to fxp the files, I get this error:

It looks like the site is behind a router/firewall, You're going to need to check the option in the site manager "Site uses NAT/IPMASQ/Non-routable IP"
