RE: Problem Sending File to Vendor

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know for sure, but it is a good bet that if "hung" when the data should be coming down that passive might help.

Opening outgoing ports is not the answer for active FTP, it is the incoming ports. The server will send data which the firewall will think is something trying to make a connection (which it is!). With passive, the client will try to make the connection first so that the firewall already "knows about" the data coming back.

You probably already have this fixed. ;)
Let us know if passive helped.

Subject: Problem Sending File to Vendor

I am using FTP API to send out a file to a vendor's FTP server. They
are using a non-standard port of 2033. When I run my program, I get
the following log:

1-: FTPAPI version 3.0beta1 released on 2010-02-21
99-: Connecting to host xxx.xxx.com at address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx using
  port 2033.
0: 220 Server ready for new user.
0: > USER xxxxxxxxx
0: 331 Password required for xxxxxxxxx.
0: > PASS **********
0: 230 User xxxxxxxx logged in.
0: > TYPE I
0: 200 Type set to I.
0: > PORT 192,168,0,200,167,239

At first I thought I was getting hung up on sending the file. Now
don't think that is the case. Here is my code:

Any thoughts as to what might be wrong? The admin said that they allow
all outgoing ports. Do I need to switch to passive?
