Answer» Hello - I've been trying to set up FTP to transfer files and am USING FileZilla. In going through the process I am finding that something is blocking it. YES, I have allowed ACCESS through my Norton firewall, but think it might be the available port issue. I've worked on this for hours, and just can't seem to get it. I am not very familiar with this kind of stuff, just am usually able to follow directions and figure things out, but this I can't seem to figure out. Here is the error message I get. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
RETRIEVING external IP address from http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php Checking for correct external IP address IP 24.16.4.97 ce-bg-e-jh Response: 200 OK PREP 5055 Response: 200 Using port 5055, data token 1813285561 PORT 24,16,4,97,19,191 Connection closedAre you sure username and password are correct? What about the port, maybe it's not 21 as usual...no username as of yet, just using the wizard and not having luck, using the wizard to find open ports. but it's not working. So frustrating! What host are you connecting to? Or is a private host?I am trying to set it up between myself and an office, through FileZilla, and I really don't have much of a clue as to the ports, addressess, etc., other than what I am finding out on google. I have found my IP address, and when I look in msprompt for my available ports, they say they are established so I have let the wizard choose, but wonder if there is something else I am missing, since the connection gets closed. Are you attempting to use active FTP? Try PASSIVE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol#Protocol_overview
