FTP Issue

[Spunky]

Hi,
I am trying to access my account via FTP, the login is fine but when it goes to load the directories. I am not having any troubles with FTP on any other server. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Are you getting any error messages that might help us out here ?

Hi,
Okay I will tell you exactly what is happening. I recieve no real "error message".

I use CoreFTP and I opened it and clicked start for my account.

timeout

It logs in no problem, but once it hits that point where it loads the file directories, it just stays blank and a few seconds later the red "timeout" appears in the status window.

 

[bigguy]

I notice your "keep alive" is off, haver you tried it with it on ? I dont know if that will make a difference but that would be the first thing I would try if it was timing out on me.

 

[Spunky]

I tried enabling keep alive on, but it still times out, except not as fast..

 

[bigguy]

Have you tried using your url name instead of the ip address, or do you have to use the ip ?

 

[Spunky]

I have been using spunky-online.com for the address, I have not used any IP. I am going to try to download Smart FTP to see if it works..

 

[bigguy]

Are you using windows xp sp2 for an operating system ? If so turn of the firewall in xp and that might let you through.

EDIT: you can also go here and see there faq sheet that might help http://www.coreftp.com/

 

[Spunky]

Well it doesnt appear to be a problem on my end. I have not been able to access the file directory on your server with either Core FTP or Smart FTP. I was just uploading stuff to my account about 9 hours ago. I really gotta finish uploading something. Thakns for your help thus far bigguy

 

[bigguy]

I have just checked the server status and ftp is up and running fine. I cant see it being a problem on our end. Do you use firewalls ? or have you tried turning of the one in xp if thats the o/s you are using ?

 

[Spunky]

My computer is running XP, I have not tried turning off the OS firewall but my zonealarm is off. I just find it weird that, that would be the problem because I have used this computer everyday for hte past few days that I have had my account here and there was no problem.

I have also started having the problem an hour ago...

 

[Corey]

I'll restart the FTP server to see if that helps.

i think some of the virus programs can be obstructed to the access to your ftp client, try to reconfigure your firewall and double check for your anti virus program.

 

[Spunky]

I really am about 100% positive that its not a problem on my end because I am not the only one experiencing it..

 

[Spunky]

It is now working for me!

 

[Leon1]

i am glad that it works for you.
