    Ftp Help???

    I'm using an older version of WS_FTP.

    I login fine to my server at DreamHost however after it goes to LIST the directory files:


    425 Unable to build data connection: Software caused connection abort
    ! Retrieve of folder listing failed


    The thing is, I also downloaded a copy of Smart FTP and it had the same problem.

    How can I get past this problem as I am wanting to upload a .mov file to my server and it seems the web ftp provided by DreamHost won't work for me (or it seems like it doesn't as after a bit of time has passed it seems to still be uploading??)

    * Yes it is all set to PASV
    * The account type is currently set to FTP
    * Other account type options are SFTP and SHELL
    * NO setting it to ACTIVE won't help either

    How big is the file? If it's too big, the FTP client will not upload it. I use Web FTP by Dreamhost and have uploaded several movie and have not had any problems, but they have to be smaller.

    It's a 15 min long movie. I can't upload it via web ftp as it is too big.

    Don't worry, the landslide in Portland might be the cause. Will be trying again in 24 hours .. and if I still have troubles.. then I will contact Dreamhost Support.

    Just had some try to be of help remotely... and even he was stumped.. we tried three different FTP programs.. all with the same error.

    So. Yeah. Just have to give it time.
