One site with discount asp connects fine in passive mode while another (at the suggestion of support) requires active mode. Any idea why this would be?
Can you clarify if you are accessing both ftp site from the same computer. Also let us know if you have a firewall and antivirus installed when accessing the FTP site either from the same computer or different locations. rcp DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
It is possible that your firewall may have blacklisting capability thus allowing certain domains to use the ftp port while others it will block. With firewalls FTP has always been a little tricky. Some firewalls are so strong that it won't even allow ftp connect using Passive mode. I suggest checking your firewall and making sure that both ports 21 and 20 are open and configure both ftp clients to connect via Active Port mode. rcp DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
I am having a similar problem. I only seem to have this problem on myhosting accounts that have an SSL certificate installed. I've disabled my windows firewall and my virus software. I don't think I have anything else that is blocking it. I've tried various FTP programs and windows FTP and still have trouble uploading. It will sometimes upload 512k or shows as 0 bytes. The FTP log shows a 426 error connection closed; transfer aborted. I've tried both passive and active modes - no luck. Any ideas? I really need to upload a file. Thanks for any help you can offer.
in my experience, this type of issue is almost always associated with Network Firewall / Router issue. Are you using a DSL or Cable router? If so, try bypass it and connect your computer directly to the DSL line. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Yes, I had to re-boot my router and disable my firewall to get it to work. Do you happen to know what settings I should add to the Windows Firewall settings for using the Windows Explorer FTP? Thanks for your help. --Angela
Try to make sure that the ftp ports are open. Ports 21 and 20. rcp DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
