Failed to retrieve directory listing (solved)

#1 Post by jaderovo » 2014-05-01 12:24

EDIT: MANY APOLOGIES. I searched more thoroughly and found this thread which solved my problem for me...

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=24925

Hi,

Okay, some background info first...

Running Windows Server 2012.
Using Xammp with Apache, Mysql and Filezilla Server (also have client)

I have allowed port 21 incoming and outgoing on both sides (server and my computer) because to begin with I couldn't even connect, now I can.

When I open up the filezilla client on my actual server (I am using my server via remote desktop) It all connects fine and the directory I have set up (htdocs) shows up just fine. However when I input the exact same information on Filezilla on my computer it connects fine but then i get the "Failed to retrieve directory listing" error...

Not too sure what else I might be missing. I created an admin user in filezilla server, with the correct directory and all permissions etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
