-FTP problem

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

-FTP problem

Post by *DougAJ4 »

I posted this in the general forum, but probably should have been here:

When I try to connect to FTP with the new versions of TC (including 8.51RC3) it seems to connect, but then hangs with the message "DownLoad". If I select Cancel I get a blank window with :\0 in the address bar.

I have no problem with the previous version (8.082)

I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, and a log file from my last attempt is below (*** indicates personal details deleted):

This isn't a bug, it's just a firewall blocking your data connections. The solution has been discussed many times here in the forum: Just enable passive mode for that connection:
Ctrl+F - Edit - Passive mode
