FTP help... LIST -a? Wah?

Okay, so the first time I used filezilla EVER... it worked.

And it hasn't after that. Laughing

It always seems to get stuck at "List -a". And then, after a while this shows up:

Response: 425 Unable to build data connection: Connection timed out
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing


I used smartftp, and it got stuck at MLSD. SmartFTP worked for my old wehostfree account (another free web hosting that went down), but for some reason, it doesnt work for orangeshoesgirl.frihost.net...

I put the address as orangeshoesgirl.frihost.net... is there something wrong with it?

did u turn off the pasv button before at the start of connection?
orangeshoesgirl
Um.. where is that?

Sorry, I'm a little clueless here... Laughing

Did you try it without your firewall on? This is most likely the cause, IMO.

No, I turned my firewall off. At least I think I did. I went to control panel, windows firewall, off.

IMO? Question
Bondings
IMO = In my opinion (IMHO=in my humble opinion)

The default windows firewall shouldn't be causing this.

Try to go to "settings", "connections", "firewall settings" and turn passive mode off. Tell us if it helped.

I got exactly the same problem (just that in my case, it never worked)...passive mode is turned off...windows firewall off...

I used FlashFXP and it worked on my last hosting...but it doesn´t on FRIHOST...help!
Maka
As long as passive mode is off it should work, flash fxp never worked for me with it on so make sure in connection settings the passive mode box is unticked, also check your firewall and make sure that application is allowed out.

For some weird reason, it works when I click on a specific link to get to the program, but doesnt when I click on the short-cut.

But anywhoo... it works now for some reason. Thanks for help guys! I really appreciate it. Filezilla worked better than I though... smartFTP still doesnt work, but Filezilla's enough for me. Smile
