Failure to transfer

[ScaledWyrm]

I am trying to FTP files, but some files just don't work.

For example:

WinSock 2.0
Connecting to MySite
Connected to xxx.xxx.x.xxx Port 21
220 Please enter your login name now.
USER ____
331 Password required for ____.
PASS (hidden)
230 User ____ logged in , proceed.

*Repeats some things*

List (cached)
List Complete.

2 Files failed to transfer

The .avi files are DivX format, but I don't think that's the problem.

Running XP with Service Pack 1.
FlashFXP v. 2.0 build 906.

If you need any more info, post.

the site you are connecting to does not support passive mode...disable pasv and it should work. Note that if you are behind a router you will have to do some tweaking to get non-pasv mode to work.

Now it simply says that the file opening failed.
What tweaking do I need to do.
I am behind a Linksys router.

P.S. Yes, I know that this reply is incredibly long after the question.

The listing was successful so I suspect the router isn't the problem, perhaps you don't have permission to upload files into this folder?


To use PORT behind a router.

You need to open a range of ports on your router/firewall, depending on your ftp activity the more the better. I recommend starting with 10 and opening more later if needed. When deciding on the port number it must be a port above 1024, most ftp servers will reject attempts from lower port numbers. I use 7000-7010 and that works well for me.

Now that you have the port forwarding configured on the firewall you need to configure FlashFXP. Options -> Preferences > Firewall Tab. Check the option "Limit local port range to" and enter the same range of ports that you entered in your router 7000-7010.

If you still encounter problems you may need to use the "Bind sockets to this address" option, in the address field you need to enter the IP address assigned to you by your isp.
