Re: FTP woes

Sounds like you are using passive mode ftp and the required data ports are
not open.

Check what ports are being used for the data channel and I suggest using a
custom port range and make sure this is allowed port range on the target
system.

For example in filezilla tick the box to use a custom port range and
assign a specific port, then check with the network guys at the
destination end the port is open.

We're trying to use 5250 to download an update from an ISV using
clear-text
FTP. It connects fine, and we can do a "cd". A "dir" command just sits
there, apparently doing nothing. A subsequent "cd" appears to work fine.
A "get" command just sits there, apparently doing nothing.

The vendor is adamant the problem is on my end. Any suggestions on what I
should check?
