Problem Connecting :S

Greetings Everyone,

I'm having some trouble with my Smart FTP and connecting to a dedicated server of mine. Everything was working fine until today - l've made no changes to the server, and no changes to my smartftp installation - it just quite working on me.

Also l'd like to point out that l've spent the last hour or two searching the forms here, looking at the help files etc looking for a way to fix this; and have came up empty handed. I've tried bumping the timeout settings up to no avail. I've tried killing my zonealarm as well as any other software programs that could potentially interfer with SmartFTP and that hasn't done anything.

I've unistalled, rebooted, and reinstalled ~ rebooted; and that didn't do the trick.

Here's a weird thing in addition. I tested a few other ftp accounts that l have and one of them works; but all others fail (each on different servers and different accounts). The ones that fail all react the same way; with this message:

I have no trouble connecting to this FTP account using other FTP software, such as opera's browser based FTP, or filzilla.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; as reformatting my computer is the next step l'm considering.

Warm regards,

Hello ..

1. Try Active Mode (PORT)
2. Post the log from the other FTP client

Thank you

Hello mb, thanks for the help.
I don't have that option in Tools->Settings->Connection
neither the main connection screen, nor it's two sub menus (cache/indent) have an option to toggle active mode... little help?
