Terra.es works but ftp fails

[Enigma]

Dear,

I created an account at terra.es My username and password are correct, but I receive another error. It says:
230 Logged in OK
PWD
257 "/"
Host type (I): UNIX (standard)
PASV
! Receive error: connection reset

PORT 0,0,0,0,17,167
! Send error: connection reset
! Receive error: connection reset

! Failed "port":
! Retrieve of folder listing failed (0)


Has anyone a clue what I can do to login with FTP?

Regards,

Andre

this probably won't help, but you can try disabling passive-mode FTP - that'd at least make it skip the 'PASV' part, where it loses the connection.

Yes there is a problem with terra.es ftp. The problem is exactly with the ftp software loaded in their servers, which do not allow or do not contain a command as 'PASV'. The solution for those who are not behind a firewall is provided in the above message, which is simply disabling 'PASV' in your ftp client.

However what happens when you are behind a firewall, which does not allow you to ftp unless you use PASV mode? Simple you can't ftp. What have I done then? I found a machine, the server I host my website which is NOT behind a firewall, or at least allows me not to use PASV. Then I wrote a simple ftp client in php and I am uploading from my server.

If anyone needs that small script contact me.
