Listing Directory

[tugbug]

I am trying to learn about servers and ftp programs. I have 2 computers. One running Win2k and the other WinXP. I installed FlashFXP on each machine (same version and build). On the Win2k computer, I have no problem logging on to sites but on the WinXP computer, it hangs and never shows the files. At the bottom of FlashFXP, it says "Listing Directory". It will never go any further and eventually, I will receive a disconnect.

I am testing each computer to the same server site and I have checked within the Preferences of the FlashFXP program and they are both identical. And NO, I am not attempting to log on to the same server site at the same time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks much

best i can tell you is either disable winxp's firewall or enable PASV mode in flashfxp

[tugbug]

Sorry about that........was not aware but here goes.......

The info below is the same for both computers. Only difference is one computer is Win2k and the other is WinXP

FlashFXP v2.1 build 922 Trial
One computer is Win2k the other WinXP and these 2 computers are networked.
Router - Netgear BEFW11S4
No Firewall
Both computers Norton 2003 Antivirus
Cable connection

Also, the firewall in WinXP is not enabled and passive mode is activated on both computers. As I mentioned before, both computer settings within the "preferences" of FlashFXP are identical.

Hope I got it all this time.:)

Thanks much

need to see status log with the error :)
are they networked one thru another or both directly into router?

[tugbug]

I am not sure what you mean by "status log" and they are networked directly into the router (each with its own nick card).

Please let me know what you mean by the "status log" and I will post that.

Thanks much for the help

F6>Advanced

you'll see "list Method", try setting it at "default"

[tugbug]

Hi MidKnight,.

In the preferences, advanced, the list method is set at "default".

Both computers have the exact same settings.........

Thanks

227 Entering Passive Mode (65,32,255,166,196,242).
LIST -al

the -al is generaly not using default listing

[tugbug]

That is something I know nothing about but I have double checked and the List Method is definately "default". If I knew someway of making a screen shot, I would post it for you........

I am really stumped.......

Thanks much

[MidKnight]

so this XP machine does this on all sites, or just the one

[tugbug]

I have tried about 6 sites and it does the same on all of them.....where the Win2k machine connects right up........

hmm, it doesn't make sense that the win2k machine does work and the xp doesn't....is the server you are connecting to also behind NAT? you might try active mode on your end as long as you map an ip range from your router and set FlashFXP to use your external ip. If you need help doing this, let me know.

[tugbug]

Linkster,

I have tried several outside servers and get the same results from all. I also have a third computer that is set up as an ftp server. I use this to test my Flash program and get the same results...........

Although I am not sure what you mean about the "active mode", I am still stumpted as to why the Win2k works just fine and WinXP does not..........surely I must be doing something wrong.......but I have checked and double checked and the preferences within FlashFXP are the same in both computers......and both computers are connected to the same router..........

Thanks much
tug

[tugbug]

I would like to thank all for the suggestions to attempt to correct my problem. I finally got it straight but have no idea just what was wrong..........in a last ditch effort, I did a disk check and defrag........when that was complete, my FlashFXP worked just fine. Just thought I would share this just in case anyone ever has the same problem.........try a disk check and defrag.......:)

Thanks again

Well i have the same problem. I have same version of FlashFXP and same build as before i reinstalled the OS.

I used to have w2000 and now i have windows XP sp1 inte. and some things in FlashFXP just dont work no mather what you do. But allso, i have checked at my firend who has same windows as i do and same FlashFXP. His FlashFXP works fine.

This is what i get when I FXP:

PORT 213,143,83,217,12,99
200 PORT command successful.

STOR fexp4282.zip
RETR fexp4282.zip

Sometimes it stops on LIST sometimes on RETR. I have passive mode enabled and same setup as on w2000 and allso same 2 servers i use all the time.

no help can be offered untill you read http://forum.flashfxp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3078
and in addition to that, provide logs from flashfxp and leechftp

[Emperor Beld]

As I posted before, I have the same problem. You can view my previous thread for the finer details.

http://forum.flashfxp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3232&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

Win2k SP4. Behind router with Dyndns service for PORT command w/PASV ports forwarded.

Also, WSFTP works fine, as does another computer on my network. Not to mention the computer is running from the same install file, Win2kSP4, and is doing fine on the same sites I fail at.
