Help with Ftping

Post by *Cobras »

I use Total Commander (TC) V.6.5 under WinXP-SP2 OS. I often use TC to update our website or to download acess_log file or other files from other ftp sites. I did not have any problem since I used TC for the past zillion years. I now have a connection problem since this Monday. When I make an ftp conneciton, it stops at "200 list --- Directory".

On the other hand, if I place a check mark in "Use Passive Mode for Transfer" the connection becomes successful and I can make a file transfer.

Could someone suggest me how to fix problems? I ruled out the problem by firewall because I did not any problem after installing SP2. I checked all possibly virus infection. But the computer appears in essence soyware/virus-free. Regards, James

Well, don't rule out the firewall, since some firewalls block "changed" software, and totalcmd.exe is changed after an update to 6.50.

You could also try disabling MODE Z support in Configuration - Options - FTP.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Hacker,
I will try your suggestion. I have two computers: home and office. Both have the almost identical configuation except for antivirus program: office computer with NAV and home comptuer with kav5.0.227_personal program (Kaspersky). My office computer (DSL) has no problem with TC for ftping.

My home computer is the one I am having problem. As mentioned before, I did not have any problem in the past. I noticed a serious virus infection on my home computer. After cleaning, NAV was uninstalled from my home computer and KAV was installed (by friend's advise) about two weeks ago. I am wondering whether KAV is messing with ftyping or not. What do think?

Well, try temporarily disabling it to find out...

Never mind. Because of unusual bahavior, my computer was re-formatted. When software were reinstalled, everything returned to normal. I bet that my computer was infected by virus or spyware.

For some reason since 6.03 i think it is, When you install tc it defaults with passive mode in the on position.
Just goto the TC config and set it there and you wont have to do it again each time you ftp.
