Hi. I am experienceing a problem FTP'ing into zope that has previously been discussed on this list, with no apprent solution.
When I FTP to Zope from Win98 or a Mac OSX that are behind a Cisco 675 DSL router running NAT, ftp hangs (according to the Z2.log) at:
==> 200 PORT command successful. == LIST ==> 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list ... hangs
i.e. it hangs when FTP tries to list directories and files.
I've seen lots of discussion about this, but no solution. Has anyone found one? Maybe a "passive" versus "active" FTP connection issue.
When you go through a firewall, you will usually want to use passive FTP connections (as otherwise, FTP will use 2 ports and the firewall will probably refuse the second to pass through). It should be a configuration parameter for your FTP client whether it uses active or passive mode. Look at its documentation. Dieter
