We are the client.

Client IP:3039 Server IP:21

Server IP:20 Client IP:5001

I see the above in Ethernet Peek. The data is received when I check the packets in the sniffer but the Windows FTP client hangs. It does not complete the save.

I am using the Windows FTP client because my Visa EA server does not allow any normal commands to be executed. Does FileZilla have a command-line client ?

Thanks,

Mohan

Sounds like active/passive FTP problem.

Windows FTP uses active mode by default.

Active mode can often have trouble working through firewalls/routers.

When you have connected to the ftp site type the command ‘literal pasv’ which should switch the client into passive mode.

To make permanent default see here:

Better still use a decent ftp client like filezilla

http://filezilla-project.org/download.php

Also remember if your not using sftp or scp the traffic or the password to the ftp site is not encrypted……

Hi,

I have a ftp connection to a server and I am trying to analyze why even though wireshark shows that the files are transferrred successfully Windows ftp does not complete the transfer. How do I go about analyzing the problem ?

Wireshark shows

226 Transfer complete successfully.

but the windows ftp client does not save the file. It hangs. So what was working a few days back is now hanging. What type of analysis should I run ?

Thanks,

Mohan
