Ftp

Hi experts,

I have a client who has set up an FTP server in Australia and I am trying to access it from the UK. But have not been able to do so.

Using ftptest on the server I get the following message on the test log:
Code:
Status: Resolving address of 203.36.103.156 

Status: Connecting to 203.36.103.156 

Status: Connected, waiting for welcome message

Firewall is off on the server - help please?

Hi - I have already tried active - any other suggestions please? I have checked with a web ftp and can access using that! Strange!

You mean FTP by using a browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer? If I'm not mistaken most browsers use passive FTP.
 
Your firewall is stopping the connection. Disable your firewall and test again. If ftp works then it means you need to add rules to your firewall to allow ftp to function.
