On client: You could try to switch "Enable passive mode" on the firewall page in the settings dialog.

If that doesn't work, read the FAQ (the server spesific section):

Hi,
I am getting the same problem and couldn't find a way around it, it was happening with some other clients i have here too, but I found what i bellive is the problem... I was using the SmartFTP and noticed that the only diferrence it makes in therms of commands is this:

Code: Select all

Connecting IP Repeater "repeater.smartftp.com" ...
    IP Repeater returned: "my_ip_here"
    PORT my_ip_here,9,29
and FileZilla client does this:

Code: Select all

Command:	PORT 192,168,200,1,7,248
Response:	200 PORT command successful.
ok the diference is that before doing the PORT comand (i guess it works with the PASV too but haven't teste) SmallFTP retrieves my real ip, while FileZilla works with my LAN ip...

After knowing that i tested to do Edit -> settings -> firewall setings -> "Use the following ip for non-passive transfer" and put my real ip there, and BINGO it connected for the first time...

What i couldn't do (And i would love that u guys implement this cause i hate SmartFTP) was to make the program retrieve my real ip, and i use a DSL connection that changes my ip from time to time, so everytime i have to type in my real ip :( :( :(

Overall this is a great client and u are doing a really good job, congratulations.

Best regards.
