The key may be the hint about using PASV mode, especially if you're behind any sort of firewall at all (including software firewalls). A normal command-line FTP client will usually use "active" mode, in which it opens a port on which it wants the server to "push" the file being transferred... it sends this port number to the server in a "PORT" command. If you're behind a firewall or NAT router (or both), the firewall/router has to be smart enough to intercept the contents of the PORT command, and "open a pinhole" in the firewall and/or rewrite the port number. Many simple firewalls/routers can't do this. The alternative is "passive" FTP, which browsers tend to use and which command-line FTP clients often support (either via a "-p" command line option, or a "passive" command to the client shell). In this mode, the client sends the retrieval command, awaits the response, and then sends the "PASV" command... the server opens a port, and sends back the port number to the client. The client then opens an outbound connection to the server port... this usually gets through the firewall OK and doesn't require the rewriting of the command. So... try "ftp -p hostname" rather than just "ftp hostname", and it might work better. -- Dave Platt <dplatt(a)radagast.org> AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!

Works great. Well at least you now have access. But I bet you're like me, if something is supposed to work and doesn't you'll want to find out why..:) Mark.

Works great. I never intended to make this difficult. I just asked my ISP to give me a place to post files. I haven't ever had problems accessing this or other peoples' FTP sites using Firefox. It also shows up as ftp://66.117.156.8/ I don't know much about this stuff. If there are any settings my ISP could change to simplify access, please let me know. My cabin automation system bounces status and control files through this FTP site; see CABIN.TXT, which is updated once a minute by a netbook PC in the ski boot closet. ftp://66.117.156.8/CABIN.TXT ftp://66.117.156.8/Auto_wired.jpg I wrote the code in PowerBasic, shelling out to the Windows 'ftp' command here and there. Note that Truckee is, in the summer, usually the coldest town in California, and often the coldest in the country. It hit 32F last night, when San Francisco only got down to the low 50's. It's 53F here right now. John |
