FTP problem 1

[mixmouse]

Hi,

When I ftp from one server to another, I could login, or executed "cd /usr/", but I couldn't "ls" or "get"/"put" any file on the other server. There is a firewall between these two servers.

How do I fix this?

Try turning passive mode off. Just type "pass" before trying the ls and other commands.

Thanks, aixmurderer,

It works!

But the command is "passive"

Excellent! Sorry, my usage was on Linux, so PASS worked fine there.

You only have to type as many chars as needed to get a unique start to the command name.

Thus "bin" for "binary"
"prom" for "prompt" which turns for the interactive prompt

you get the idea
