Could you choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu and post the contents of that window after you get stuck in "Getting File List..."?
Thanks,

I would ask the server administrator whether a firewall has been installed, or the FTP server configuration changed to forbid what are sometimes called proxy or fxp connections (data connections that come from a different address than the control connection). Either of these could keep passive mode FTP from working through SSH.

Thanks so much! I work at home, so I'm not sure who my server administrator would be. I've gone into the Firewall section of my System Preferences, and it says "Firewall is off." Any point in contacting my ISP?

Is the server at home too, or is there someone else responsible for it?

The server I'm connecting to is across the country. I'm also working with IT staff there to try and figure this out. They say the connection is fine, though I still can't download any docs (I'm still getting the same hang-up -- "Getting file list")
Thanks,

I'm running into a similiar problem here with a hang on LIST.
I shut off Passive FTP and got a message copied below. I trying to connect between two OSX Jag computers (through a cable modem and router, this is currently just a test...)
Any suggestions? Thanks

dmccabe: Do you have the OS X firewall turned on (in the Sharing panel of System Preferences)? If so I'd try turning it off. Otherwise I'd try checking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Fetch Preferences.
Thanks,

I'm having a similar problem today. I click on Fetch and it says "getting file list" for several minutes, then i get the error message "the file transfer server has shut down" i have fetch 4.03, the passive mode transfer is checked and my firewall is turned off. any other suggestions?
thanks!

I'd try unchecking "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)". If that doesn't work I'd post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window, after trying with PASV checked and with it unchecked.
Thanks,

I'm trying to connect to a server with SSH. It's worked fine in the past, but not now. The SSH connection still works, but when I open the server connection in Fetch (using Passive Mode Transfers and entering a non-standard port number), it seems to open the connection and it says it's "getting the file list" -- then it hangs there, getting the file list, forever. I saw an earlier post about this in which there was no clear solution, but I thought you might have one now. I also upgraded to Fetch 4.0.3, to no avail.
Thanks for your help!
