Has anyone ever experienced the following situation where ftp hangs like this: C:\>ftp ftp> open ftp.XXXXXXXX.w01.Winhost.com Connected to ftp.XXXXXXXX.w01.Winhost.com. 220-Microsoft FTP Service 220 Winhost.com FTP User (ftp.XXXXXXXX.w01.Winhost.comnone)): XXXXXXXX 331 Password required for XXXXXXXX. Password: 230-Welcome 230 User logged in. ftp> dir 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection. I noticed that I couldn't get in via MS Visual Web Dev so I checked it but putting in the FTP commands above. I got logged in but no folder listing ...?????? Thanks for any help.
What FTP login are you using? For now make sure you use the main site FTP login and not an additional FTP login.
I just deleted all of the other FTP accounts and went in with the main FTP account and it still freezes at the "dir" ... Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\j>ftp ftp> open ftp.XXXXXXXX.w01.Winhost.com Connected to ftp.XXXXXXXX.w01.Winhost.com. 220-Microsoft FTP Service 220 Winhost.com FTP User (ftp.XXXXXXXX.w01.Winhost.comnone)): XXXXXXXX 331 Password required for XXXXXXXX.

Odd I didn't have any problems getting into your FTP site. Check what conneciton mode you are using (Passive mode or Active Port mode). Try switching if from one to the other.
I tried it via PASSIVE and non-PASSIVE in visual web developer 2008 express and got this message (attached). Do you know the FTP command line command to switch back and forth? j .. p.s. it was working yesterday with no unusual behaviour ... wierd, I know .. j
[solved] - ftp problem solved The problem was my AT&T connection client program must have been blocking one of the ports. I am able to get through via regular Wi_Fi connection.
Unfortunately I don't know how to switch MS DOS to use Active Port mode. I think it maybe controled by the IE browser but I haven't really tested that out. Maybe it will be better for now to use a FTP client such as FileZilla. Its free to download from the Internet and it has a lot of features that can easily switch from Active Port mode to Passive mode, from ASCII to Binary connection.
