Can't Connect to Remote Server

[alexFZ333]

I'm not yet very familiar with the working of Filezilla.

When I try to access a remote server, using Quickconnect, I'm getting a Response message that reads "227 Entering Passive Mode", and an Error message that reads "Failed to retrieve directory listing".

I'm on a Mac, and my firewall is disabled. I did a test, using ftptest.net, but don't know how to interpret the test Log.

Is there some setting that I need to change to allow me to connect to the remote server?

What does the test log say?

What is the complete log from FileZilla?

The test log says this: (see also Filezilla log below)

Hope this helps shed light on the problem.

Okay, the test failed. This means it's a server-side problem. Most likely due to a server-side firewall blocking the data connection.

You need to contact your server administrator or server hosting provider for assistance so that the server can be fixed.

I contacted my host, and they were able to do something so that I can now access the remote site.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help with this!
