    Note: Contents of Transcript window are at end of message.

    I am a registered fetch user and will be glad to forward my registration # if you require it.

    I have an adsl connection from Bellsouth going into a linksys router.

    I am using fetch 4.0.2 which I downloaded today. But the problem occurred with version 4.0 as well.

    I have two Mac and two pc's on my home network. The macs are each running an interation of 9.x. The problem occurs on both macs and on the pc's using a pc ftp program. So the problem is not with fetch but I hope you can help me sort this out.

    My wife connects to work through vpn but the problem occurs whether or not she is connected.

    I run two web sites. One is on Bellsouth through which I get my adsl connection. I have no problems when I ftp to bellsouth.

    The second web site is on another server-Louisville telecom.

    When I first set up the site on Louisville Telecom I could connect to the server but could not get file lists. Then, one day, I was able to get the file lists. Support at Louisville Telecom did not know why this happened.

    After a month or so of being able to connect and get file list and upload and download to Louisville Telecom I can still connect, but can no longer get my file lists. There is no problem connecting to and getting file lists from the bellsouth server.

    Passive mode is on.

    From my pc I was able to successfully ping Louisville Telecom. However when they ran tracer software the trace stopped at bellsouth.

    Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

    You could try unchecking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Preferences, but I'd be suprised if that worked. It looks like data connections from your Mac to the Louisville Telecom server are being blocked. My best guess would be that a firewall is blocking them, in your DSL modem, or linksys router, or at Bellsouth. In the transcript you sent Fetch was trying to connect to port numbers 2103, 2114 and 2118 at 192.168.40.15. You could ask Bellsouth if there's any reason why such connections should be blocked.

    Thanks,

    This seems to work for me. I was having the same problem with Fetch 4.0.x and Transmit 1.6. Fetch 3.0.3 works great. Do you need the other ports enable for Fetch 4.0.x? I only enabled 20-21 for ftp.

    thanks

    I really don’t think the problem is with Fetch. I also have a pc and the pc ftp program also will not work.

    I think the issue is with the isp hosting the web site or with the settings in my linksys router (the linksys people were not very helpful) or with my isp. Or some combination of the above.

    I’m really looking for a linksys and fetch user who has run into this problem.

    Thanks.

    I got the same problem : impossible to get the files list... The only solution on the web site is to upgrade tu 4.0.2... but I already use it ! I tried on my local network or with modem connection but it is still the same problem. I unchecked passive mode in the firewall, it didn't change anything...

    Rupy:

    Could you post (or email to support@fetchsoftworks.com) a transcript of connection attempts with PASV turned on and off? I'll see what I can figure out.

    Thanks,

    With the passive enabled in Fetch 4.0.x or Transmit 1.6 I get the error about getting the file list. With it turned off in both Fetch 4.0.x and Transmit 1.6 everything works again like Fetch 3.0.3.

    If these ports 2103, 2114 and 2118 are required for Fetch then users like myself need to know as I can enable them into the Linksys BEFSR41 router. I will probably try it just to see.

    When passive mode is turned off Fetch chooses ports to listen on randomly; so while 2103, 2114 and 2118 were the ports being used in the transcript you posted, the next time you ran Fetch they'd probably be different.
