FTP only works some of the time?

[joeygambino]

I can't always seems to connect to my Linkstation Pro via FTP.  In Filezilla it works maybe 50% of the time.  WS_FTP I seem to be able to connect most of the time, but other clients I can't connect at all.  I get a lot of LIST errors, and when I do finally log in it puts me right in the root directory, where I have to go into /disk1 and then /share... even if I try to add these paths to the FTP client.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?

What happens if you try accessing it through Windows Explorer?

This seems to work, I can map to it as a network drive and move files back and forth.  This would actually be fine, except the several FTP clients I've tried don't show the network drive in my local list of folders or drives.

 

Further information:  I am trying to FXP from server to server.  I can eventually connect via FTP with clients that do NOT support FXP, but even then it doesn't work every time.

If explorer access using FTP is working then the FTP server is operating correctly, more than likely a configuration issue with the FTP clients you are using. Have you enabled passive mode on the client software?
