    Problems FTPing files to my domain

    Any time I try to upload say a WordPress install, 9/10 times the entire upload will not finish with some type of timeout/error.

    I awlays get:

    COMMAND:> PASV
    227 Entering Passive Mode (69,56,139,2,79,109)
    COMMAND:> LIST
    STATUS:> Connecting FTP data socket 69.56.139.2:20333...
    ERROR:> The connection failed due to an error or timeout.
    1) Verify that the destination IP address is correct.
    2) Increase the connection timeout threshold under Global Settings | Connection.
    3) Switch to the opposite data connection type (PASV or PORT) under Site Settings | Type tab.
    4) Verify that the problem is not local by trying to connect to an alternate server.
    5) If a server name was used, verify it resolves to the correct address.
    6) If using a local server table for server name resolution, check to see that it doesn't resolve to an obsolete address.
    7) Try pinging the address.
    8) If you are using a router, verify the router is up and running (check by pinging it and then ping an address outside of the router).
    9) Do a traceroute to the destination to verify all routers along the connection path are operational.
    10) Verify that your subnet mask is setup properly.
    11) Verify that your local software or hardware firewall is not blocking outbound connections originating from CuteFTP.
    12) Verify that your anti-virus software is not at fault (try disabling it).
    STATUS:> Waiting 60 seconds...
    COMMAND:> PASV
    ERROR:> Timeout (60000 ms) occurred on receiving server response.
    ERROR:> Failed to establish data socket.

    What could be happening? I've contacted Andrew and he's said there is nothing wrong on the server side. Has anyone else had any problems uploading files?

      Yes but this has actually been going on for several months now. I've submitted tickets and everytime it's nothing is wrong nothing is wrong.

        I see...

        You can try turning passive mode off, alternativley you could try FileZilla - Which IMHO is the best..

          If I were at your place I would do the following:

          1) Pack the folder and files you wish to upload with tar (many archivers support this, or you might use GNU's tar)

          2) Pack this tar with bzip2 or gzip.

          3) Upload to the Dathorn's server.

          4) Log into the shell and issue something like tar -zvf (not sure, check out man tar).

          It works PERFECTLY when you need to upload a folder with a LOT of files and subfolders. Actually I did it, when I was moving a large Invision forum to Dathorn's server. There was about 400 megs worth of files (thousands and thousands), while compressed with bzip2 if took only about 70-100 megs and the move went smothly.

          As always, don't forget to use nice -n 19 to reduce the performance impact on the server.

            I actually believe I fixed it. I changed everything to connect via PORT mode instead of PASV. I read that PASV is really old and outdated. Once I switched everything to PORT I never had a time out, ever.
