January 2, 201016 yr I'm currently attempting to upload a website. I can connect to the FTP server, but when I attempt to upload, most of the files fail due to Timeout. I thought this was due to my firewall, so I disabled it and I tried to upload, but I still had the same problem.I have an F-Secure firewall and other protection. I just disabled the firewall and left the other features on. Googling didn't give me an answer to what might be wrong, so I hope you guys could tell me what could be the problem, as I haven't got a clue myself.
January 8, 201016 yr Hello, In addition to the possibility of a "server problem", another distinct possibility exists. Attempt to have your client set the connection to "Passive" mode. In the Windows CMD version, simple issue the command "passive" before "Put" or "Mput" or whatever. It sounds like you're using a graphical tool, so you'll probably have to look for "Passive" in one of the drop-down menus. Here's a pretty good, albeit kinda technical, explanation: http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html Good luck! Retired Player Moderator - Light Arcana General
