Here's what smartftp does when I try to connect to ANY ftp site using all default settings EXCEPT changing from passive to active as all the ftps I use require you to NOT connect passive (but I tested with passive and it didn't make a difference anyways) from a freshly installed copy of smartftp recent version and the same happens when I install the development version afterward and try again:
Resolving host name ftp.smartftp.com...
Connecting to (ftp.smartftp.com) -> IP: 213.144.155.6 PORT: 21
Connection timeout. No response from server.
Cannot login waiting to retry (60s)...
Continue to login attempt 2...
Connecting to (ftp.smartftp.com) -> IP: 213.144.155.6 PORT: 21
Connection timeout. No response from server.
Cannot login waiting to retry (60s)...
Continue to login attempt 3...
Connecting to (ftp.smartftp.com) -> IP: 213.144.155.6 PORT: 21
Connection timeout. No response from server.
you get the idea. Why does cuteftp, wsftp and simply doing ftp.smartftp.com for example in Internet Explorer correctly show the contents of the ftp site and smartftp acts like I've got a firewall or something when I have just installed it on a clean version of xpsp1corp and have the internet sharing and firewall features of xp turned off in the services admin area?
for instance i have smartftp doing what you see above as I write and now I opened IE and entered the smartftp ftp site and my IE window shows this which I assume is correct:
FTP root at ftp.smartftp.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/18/2003 05:19AM Directory Common
02/07/2004 05:17PM Directory SmartFTP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you think of anything else that smartftp is incompatible with? All that is running besides basic xp system is my belkin UPS util.
I installed cuteftp and wsftp and figured I'd just use one of them instead but I really hate them compared to smartftp so I decided to bother to write this error report and take the chance that this will be fixed in smartftp soon or that there is some windows system feature i can simply turn off that is conflicting. It is very frustrating that every other crappier ftp product works with no problem.
HELP!
