Hi,

I am encountering a strange FTP problem. Everything was fine when I last
used FTP several months ago, but this week when I tried, I always get a
message something "Error reading response from server - Port failed" (WS_FTP
Pro) or "Failed to establish data socket" (CuteFTP Pro0, but both probrams
report a connection is made.

As mentioned, I have tried more than one FTP client and receive the same
result no matter what FTP site I attempt to log in to. A copy of the WS_FTP
session log is included below.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Olen

You may be firewalled; try disabling your firewall. Have you tried Filezilla
client?. It has a connection test feature that may be helpful.
