FTP Explorer (problem)

Hi,
I have Toshiba Satellite laptop with 40 Gigs HDD and 512 MB RAM. I am using WinXP Pro and EZ FW and AV.

I have 2 web pages on 2 different, physically seperate servers. I have no problem logging on one web page (server) but I can't log on the 2nd one (password and everything else is accurate).

Did anybody have any similar problems? Thanks for your time.

 

Try this

There are too many unknown variables to be able to map an intelligent course toward a solution.

Are you saying that you can't simultaneously log into bothe sites?

Try re-booting between attempts.


The only suggestion I can think of is to try logging on w different apps.
I assume you are using FTP w IE?
Download a demo copy of some other FTP app such as Cute FTP and see if you can log in to both sites.

If yes, then problem was probably in the app you were using before.
If no, the problem may be with one of the website.

 

Hi

assuming that are using the app. called FTP Explorer (the one I use)...

have you once been able to access the 2nd server and now find you cannot - or never been able to get FTP Explorer to work with it at all, pls?

some webspace servers are "funny" about access -

for example, FTP access to AOL homepage webspace... which you can do with any FTP client, but only if you are signed on to AOL using the same "screen name" as the web space you are trying to access

best wishes, HJ

 

Thanks to all.

Yes Hugh Jarss. I am talking about app called FTP Explorer.

I was able to sign to this server while ago. But now it shows I am signed but I do not see any files. Again thanks for all your help.

Any other thoughts?

 

Hi again elcamino...

is FTP Explorer perhaps set to "cache data between sessions" for the server you cannot see the files on... (find this setting in a checkbox on the connect dialogue box - it's a separate setting for each server)

...if so, you might have to hit the "refresh" button before you can see any files.

FTP Explorer has a very useful FTP log window, make sure you can see it by using the View menu, ensure "FTP log" is ticked...

Here's the start of a session, as viewed in the FTP log window

Code:

Connected to: NTL
USER  ******
331 Password required for ******
PASS
230 User gbmain logged in.
SYST
215 UNIX Type: L8
CWD /ePGB/hj/
[COLOR=DarkRed]250 CWD command successful.[/COLOR]
TYPE A
200 Type set to A.
PORT 62,253,40,153,5,73
200 PORT command successful.
[COLOR=DarkRed]LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
226-Transfer complete.[/COLOR]
226 Quotas off

the lines I've marked in red are the ones most crucial to getting the list of files to appear;

try comparing with what you see in your FTP log window - should provide us with more clues

...if it stops before the LIST, hit refresh, see what happens next...

best wishes, HJ

 

Since I have installed SP2 I am freequently getting this error message.

Is anybody else having the same problem?

 

El Camino...

...try making a new thread in ? the XP forum it looks like - you'll get better answers that way

best wishes, HJ.

 

Thanks Hugh Jarss and TonyT.

There is no number. It just says:

"Error: Access violation at 0x7C90E025 (tried to write to 0x00030FFC), program terminated. "

 

Thanks TonyT

 

Can't reinstall FTP Explorer

I unistalled my FTP Explorer due to getting error messages when trying to download from other FTP servers, and now when I try to re install it I'm getting a page saying I'm not authorized to see that page? I'm running win XP SP2. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
