View Full Version : FTP ACCESS hangs on LIST of Directories

I am trying to access an FTP server, my server actually from work. I am behind a firewall and am using a program to emulate a proxy and tunnel through the firewall at work.

I can ping the FTP, I can log in, but I cannot get the directories to list properly. IT just says listing, and then hangs up, waits for about 5 minutes then disconnects.

I am using Bullet Proof Server 2.15

and the latest build of FlashFXP to connect... I have flash working through a proxy in the advanced settings, set to 127.0.0.1, and port 1080, which allows it to connect to my FTP through Socks2HTTP. I have to access the server in passive mode because of the firewall..
Any ideas?

Here is the message that I get:

Have you tried it without the proxy,(0), and port 21.
Also turn off passive mode as well.

yep,it never connects unless I use the advanced options, proxy 5 with 127.0.0.1 and port 1080 with passive mode checked. Then I can connect, but the list fails...

And I have tried connecting through a browser as well... doesn't work.
