FTP Session Troubles - Hanging on LIST or PASV

[kangated]

Hi Fokls,
Travelling oversees and maintaining some websites I had the situation of an internet disconnection during file transfers.
Other people can access the ftp sessions for the sites so the problem is on my PC somewhere.
I can login BUT whenever the LIST or PASV or PORT command is issued TC (and any other ftp program) goes into nowhere land and eventually responds with what looks like an empty directory.
Arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Anyone come across this is it debilitating !

Thanks

Ray

Hello Ray !

¤ What about to show here a piece of FTP log-file as "code" ?
* That could help us a lot…
• Whether you have not set such a file already, you may create one, name it i.e. FTP-Full-log.txt, then set it in the Configuration >> Options >>> FTP >>> tick the box "Create a log file" and fill the field beside >>> Apply >> OK.

¤ Against the undesirable disconnections, you could try to enable "Send command to keep connection alive" (if not done already), setting the interval as 30 seconds (we have 90 seconds by default) in the "Connection detail" dialog-box.
* Since any other program can run properly with that server, it's possible that it be a very "exotic" type
- We'll see this from a log.
- You might have a look too at this  BIG THREAD
To be continued…

  Kind regards,
Claude

Hi again !

¤ In anyway, the log is useful, thanks.
¤ Did you try "Passive mode" ?

¤ I suppose that this server doesn't allow "Anonymous"…?
Or else, I'ld try a test-connection from my home.
I added a link editing my reply, please have a look at this topic.
* This server seems classic, though it could have special definition-strings. I'm not expert at this, so please watch the Forum a bit later (it's 4:35 AM here !)
