Yesterday my web host upgraded CPanel and disaster struck. All of my passwords nolonger worked. Tech support fixed that for the most part except that FTP access was killed. By evening I had FTP access, cool. But this morning I discovered that on two of the sites, that had started working again fine last night, are no longer allowing me FTP access. Comparing the FTP (I use Fetch) transcripts for an account that works and one that doesn't I see two extra commands being given:
PORT 10,0,1,2,97,212
200 PORT command successful
LIST
The one that works (blacklightning.com) pops up the list of files and directories and I can do stuff. The one that is failing hangs on "Getting File List..." which is the LIST command after it executes a PORT command. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what the PORT command is? Why is it happening on one and not the other? Both are being initiated identically asside from their different userID/password, etc. I have tried this with passive mode on and off.
Thanks,
-Walter
