Passive mode

[DUde3451]

Cant connect using passive mode.

FlashFXP v2.1 (924)
Windows 2000


Passive means i must accept connection from internet or what?
How can i check if i can then (But i know i could before)?

Passive mode
The FTP client connects to the FTP server, this works great if the client is behind a firewall.

Active Mode
If you're not behind a firewall or can configure your firewall to accept incoming connections then you can use Active Mode. Active Mode is sometimes required when the FTP server is behind a firewall.

Well i looked and i think its only that site have problems with passive mode maybe...
But 1 more question when u select to whatever use or dont use passive mode in FlashFXP there is 3 conditions USE / DONT USE / and something when button is not fully pressed, with dark background... what this means?

I'm having the same problem as DUde3451

Data Socket Error: Connection refused

I dunno, could I get some actual help as to how I might fix the problem?
I opened port 21 and port 20. I tried binding the sockets to my ip address. I opened every port imaginable and I still can't get it working.

Oh yeah, I tried taking it out of passive mode too but it just says:

Connected to 66.***.***.*** Port 67
220 Serv-U FTP-Server v2.5f for WinSock ready...
USER mason
331 User name okay, need password.
PASS (hidden)
230 User logged in, proceed.

PORT 192,***,*,*,13,46

LIST

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nitz, you couldn't be possibly be using build 905 unregistred becuase:
1)build 905 is absolete and no longer supported
2)it's been way more than 30days since the release of build 905. so you either must buy flashfxp to continue to use it OR stop using it.
I tried binding the sockets to my ip address.
...
PORT 192,***,*,*,13,46
530 Only client IP address allowed for PORT command.
you bound to the wrong adddress. you enteresed your lan ip instead of internet ip.

Impossible's a pretty big word
First of all:

and

I was always under the impression that a thirty day trial began the day you installed it and ended thirty days later. Which gives me 29 days.

Thanks MxxCon, that fixed my problem. I had tried using my IP assigned address beforehand but I guess I had used it wrong in combination with other options

I'll check back in later about the evaluation thing

[Linkster]

mxxcon just meant you should really be using the new version...i can't believe you had that old version lying around, or found some place to download it.

Hi guys. I'm having the same problem as Nitz was. I got my ip from whatsmyip.com & put it in with 'bind sockets to this address' ticked. How do i open ports 20 & 21, and will they do the trick? Cheers all,
Dez

{{EDIT: just tried in the proxies section: set to type 6, input details & set port to either 20 & 21, neither worked. suspect this isn't how you open ports 20 & 21 but i thought i might as well mention i tried it before anyone responds}}

I have a similar problem on my FTP since my host changed their ftp server program:

150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
425 Can't open data connection.

In your case it looks like you're not using passive mode.
In order for me to help you I would need to know details about your internet connection (http://forum.flashfxp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3078) and the 3 lines prior to the lines you posted above.

This is what I get in Passive Mode:

230-Welcome to the Picture FTP of www.fappin.com
230 User preacher logged in.

CWD \screenshots
250 CWD command successful.

And this is what I get without Passive Mode:
