Cant connect to ftp
 

Hey guys I cant connect to a certain ftp setup for me, I use Smartftp and this is the log..

And also, is there another way to share large files like ftp but isnt ftp privately without having to upload at those rapidshare sites?

Will non-passive mode work?

Hi Zergrinch thanks for your reply I hope you can help me, Here I tried connecting again using PORT mode still get an error:

and this one is from smartftp also in PORT mode: it doesnt mention an error unlike flashfxp nor does it list the files on the server it just shows this noop thing i dont know..

The ftp owner probably doesn't have passive mode set up properly, so use active mode and manually configure your public IP address in the client settings (try http://www.whatismyip.org to check your IP).

Hi BigBlah, Im not a power user with ftps, I know Ive set mine to Active mode or Port mode, but where in Smartftp can I change that public IP you mentioned?
