RE: FTP odity

["Bob Anderson" <banderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick, Scott and All,
        I have found the problem and had it fixed. The FTP service on the
bad server was not fully configured and once it was configured correctly all
is fine and working.

I would really like to thank all of you for all the help

Bob,

I think passive or active mode only appears to control which ports are used
for different FTP traffic - command and data, and who initiates the traffic
- an explanation (one I didn't take the time to fully
understand) can be found here:

http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html

I don't believe this is the problem - from what I understand, it's just a
server configuration that simplifies the connection from a firewall
standpoint.

Try entering the command 'passive' first and see if it makes any difference
with the other commands.

Personally, I would lean towards the idea that whomever administers the
server has given you a logon id, but has restricted it to a single empty
directory.

But I could be wrong.  I've been know to be wrong in the past.
