Re: Unable to FTP to i from desktop

Hi All,

On Friday, I was a bit premature in thinking my problems with FTP was

solved.

I am trying to FTP from my dsktop to the i, using the live address

65.xxx.xx.xxx. I opened up port 21 on the i, with NAT to 192.168.100.7

(local address of my i). So I get prompt for user id, then password and on

entering both get a message saying I am logged on. Then if I give a command

to change my current directory, that too works fine. But when I try to

access any data, even a simple "dir" command, after telling me "PORT command

successful", the PC goes into a wait mode for about 5-7 minutes and then

comes back with an error message "Not able to open data connection". At

about the same time, on the i I get a message saying TCP/IP connection

closed reason code 2. I think the data port for FTP is 20, so I have that

open too, with the same NAT as port 21.

Any ideas?

TIA
