Help- Can not put files in due to time out/unexpected response (6 posts)

    I am new to Fetch. I am trying to upload files to another host. When I try to connect Fetch says that there is a timeout trying to establish a passive mode data connection. It says to uncheck "use passive mode transfers" box. I have done that. I have turned my firewall off. The message still pops up. But it looks like I am connected but I don't see any folders (that I was told were going to be there). Then I try to put files in and it says Fetch can not put my files in the FTP server sent an unexpected response. "server responded '/siteFTP/folder' cd successful"

    Hi,

    Sorry you're having problems.

    Could you please do the following to help us diagnose the problem? After you try to connect and upload some files, choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu, copy the contents of the transcript window, and post them here?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    It looks like the server is behind a firewall. The following should work around the problem:

    * Close the connection to the server (close the window).
    * Go to the General pane of the Preferences, and make sure "Use passive mode transfers" checkbox is unchecked.
    * Make a new connection to the server.

    (With this particular kind of server, if you change the "use passive mode" setting while the connection is still open, it won't work correctly - you need to do it before you make the connection.)

    If that doesn't work, you need to talk to the server owner about either making adjustments to, or temporarily disabling, their firewall.

    Let us know if this helps. Thanks,

    Scott McGuire

    I am getting similar errors, but it is with 6 different servers. Previous to my upgrade from 10.4.5, I was able to upload without any problems. This indicates to me a possible conflict with the latest Mac version. One thing confusing about the last transcript is that it says it is entering passive mode even though I have that option unchecked in the general preferences. Here are several transcripts from several different servers:

    Hi kenroar1,

    The reason Fetch is switching to passive mode, even though you don't have it checked, is because active mode is failing. When active mode fails, Fetch tries passive mode automatically. Unfortunately, passive mode is also failing.

    We don't think active mode is failing because of a conflict between 10.4.6 and Fetch; it looks like an issue with your cable modem or router (the response to "LIST" shows that the "LIST" command is getting garbled, that's usually a NAT/router incorrectly retransmitting that command). Did you recently get a new one, or upgrade the firmware of your current one?

    To help narrow down the problem, could you please try the following and let us know what happens?

    Could you please try connecting to ftp.fetchsoftworks.com and see if that works?

    Also, can you successfully connect to any of the problem servers using SFTP?

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire
