425 Can't open data connection for transfer of "/

#1 Post by ptulkens » 2020-01-22 16:09

Hi,

I could not get a directory listing when connecting through one ISP but got it without problem when connecting through another ISP (in both cases, the connection was to my sever located in a different network and using the same client on the same machine [lap top]). Could this be due to the fact either the first ISP either blocks some ports or that I requested PROT P "matching exactly" and that the IP addresses of the peer used for for the communication channel and that used for the data transfer did not match exactly ? Incidentally, and just to make sure, which is the peer to consider: my lap top (where the client is), the ISP to which I'm connected, the ISP to which my server is connected, or my server it-self ?

Which version of FileZilla Server are you using?

What client software (product and version) are you using?

Is it always failing on this particular port?
