    I have just purchased Fetch 4.0.3 and am running )S 10.3.2 with Brickhouse 1.2b9 as a firewall connecting thru a linksys router to hi speed cable.

    I can connect to different sites such as fetch but it fails when trying to download the File List.

    the Fetch Transcript of 2 examples is below

    I would check the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Fetch Preferences. Does that solve the problem?

    Thanks,

    Yes that did it

    I'm having a very similar issue, but toggling between passive on and off doesn't seem to make any difference. Everything was working well until last Saturday, now I can't seem to get an ftp connection to work with my site. I *can* get connections with other ftp sites (i.e., the Fetch Softworks site) no problem, so I'm pretty sure that the issue is with my web hosting provider. Of course, they think it's on my end... :-(

    I have "Show Server Messages" turned on but don't seem to be getting any messages. I see Fetch logging into the site, but it just dies when it gets to the "Get File List" command. If I cancel quickly it shows that there is still a connection... Sometimes if I don't cancel it will actually kill my wireless connection and I get an Open Transport Error Number -3155.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

    Can you post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after trying to connect with "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" checked, and again with it unchecked.

    It may be that your service provider has put in a firewall blocking passive mode transfers. In that case your only option is to figure out how to make non-passive transfers work on your end. That may involve disabling the firewall on your computer.

    Thanks,

    Here ya go! I have changed the user name for security reasons.

    With PASV enabled:

    send_cmd():con_conn->Putline() returns -3155
    ftp_cwd: -3155 (state == CHANGING_DIR)

    Despite this Fetch showed that I was connected so I tried doing a change to another directory. That failed...

    I'm 99% sure it isn't Fetch causing the problem - I believe it's my web hosting provider as I can't get to the site through WS_FTP on a PC either. However, the web hosting provider either doesn't want to admit they changed something last weekend or the tech rep I'm talking to at their help desk is incapable of helping me. If there's any way that the above transcript provides a clue as to what's happening I would appreciate hearing what the cause is so I can inform these guys.

    I know it's not a local firewall problem. I use Blogger to create content for my website and it has been unable to ftp to the site since last Saturday. All ftp connections worked fine up until that time.

    Thanks for any help you can provide! I will definitely be purchasing Fetch for my PowerBook.

    Other Info - I'm on OS X 10.3.2. This PowerBook is connected via AirPort to a Linksys wireless router to DSL.

    pdantic: What does the transcript look like if you connect your PowerBook directly to your DSL modem (not via the Linksys wireless router), and have "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" unchecked?

    rlsully: Can you connect to the AT&T server with PASV unchecked and your firewall disabled? I'm surprised that you can't connect with PASV enabled; that may be something to ask AT&T about.

    Thanks,

    I disaled the firewall and turned PASV off and I was able to connect and get the file list.

    do you know which rule was preventing the listing files. My firewall listing is below

    Thanks Roger

    For non-PASV FTP a different port is used for each file transfer or file list, so you basically have to allow incoming TCP connections on ports 1025-65535.

    Jim - as I thought, it WAS my web hosting provider that was causing the problems. Fetch is working like a champ and I just purchased a license.

    I used Fetch back in my pre-Windows days (I owned Macs from late 1984 until 1997, and just got a PowerBook G4 this year) and I'll continue to use this great program as long as I'm a Mac user!
