PC Stats: XP Pro SP2 Filezilla 2.2.8d - Just Upgraded Behind Shared Broadband Connection Had no problems connecting before SP2 went on...should I seek out a new FTP client, or will you guys attempt to help me fix it? Tried: Re-installing FZ Altering Connection settings to Passive, using a Proxy etc Tried everything short of wiping the damn thing...and I'm not prepared to do so TIA _____________________________

Also, make sure FZ has permission to access the web (SP2 makes you confirm this remember...) quote: should I seek out a new FTP client No way... I doubt another FTP would be able to connect either until you figure out why this one can't... Have you tried to FTP via IE or command prompt? _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (in reply to Giomanach)

Strange how I can upload images to here and send files via MSN, YM and ICQ... I don't trust Ie for obvious reasons...but I'll give it a shot in a minute.. Hardware FW checked...originally had to set firewall down a level to get net connection working, all outgoing connections are allowed, unknown incoming blocked, I have full access, both incoming and outgoing connections... This is really strange, as it doesn';t matter whether the FTP server is Unix or Windows based, it can't connect, never mind try to login...

I don't have XP firewall on before you ask..even with no firewall bar the Hardware one...it still doesn't connect.... Hardware firewall is a Fedora box....spliting a BB connection via a router...no chnages have been made to it's config, nor has it been restarted since I installed SP1..never mind SP2...

Nothing else makes sense... If Unix FTP's could access I'd say it was in your Windows configuration or somthing in a Windows program... Since it's cross platform and system wide, I'd say it has something to do with your firewall... Do you use cron to automatically grab updates? Maybe a recent update has closed a port that you need? _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (in reply to Giomanach)

I haven't changed any settings on the Fedora box at all... Only major updates to happen are the two other Windoze boxes have been upgraded from Pro to Media Center, and SP2 installed on all three. I don't cron in for updates, I prefer to do that manually, as updates,. can, and have, corrupt the windoze installation. Must be port 21 it's closed off somewhere...as I have all FTP protocols/programs set to use that... One thing yet to try - connect one of the Media Center PCs directly to the net, and connect through that... It's a shame the main PC and FW is in my parents room.... _____________________________ (in reply to bobby)

Giomanach Posts: 6095 Joined: 11/19/2003 From: England Status: offline	RE: Filezilla Can't connect.... - 10/6/2004 15:40:25 Doesn't work when I connect through one of the Media Center boxes either At this rate I'm gonna end up re-writing part of Xp...and Mr Gates won;t be too pleased that an 18 year old can do that _____________________________ (in reply to bobby)

Oh well...time to start delving in the application String Tables...And Possibly the Binary Libraries _____________________________ (in reply to Giomanach)

I have that much reliant on a port though...lol...time to open up a few more..and close off some others... _____________________________ (in reply to bobby)


Giomanach Posts: 6095 Joined: 11/19/2003 From: England Status: offline	RE: Filezilla Can't connect.... - 11/8/2004 8:10:13 Guys Have had a couple of emails regarding this thread recently, asking for help with this and other problems, one from Don, and another from an Non-Outfrontier, and it has reminded me to let you know how I solved the problem. I wiped my PC and started again....which was really convenient as I've just recently installed a new 80GB HDD... My Guess is windows was corrupt somewhere, probably due to me messing about with the innards, butI doubt it _____________________________ (in reply to Giomanach)
