My FTP suddenly times out, disconnects or not giving me any access.
Here are some symptoms may match your situation:
-
If you are using Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver gives the error message "Waiting for Server" followed by "An FTP error occurred - cannot get remote folder info" and then a disconnect notice. Other FTP clients and programs that you try to connect with just timeout and disconnect.
-
You think it should be Communilink problem because you have not modified your own settings since the last time you used FTP successfully.
-
You seem to be being blocked from using FTP.
-
Suddenly you only have access to certain directories in ftp, but not others deeper down the directory trees.
-
Turning Passive Mode on or off makes no difference.
-
From a shell prompt, you can "cd" and navigate through all your directories.
The solutions:
-
Check your personal firewall/security settings (programs like Norton Anti-Virus or Zone Alarm, ) to make sure that they are configured to allow your FTP access.
-
Try turning these programs completely off and retry FTP.Try using FTP from a different computer at your same location.
-
Try using FTP from a different computer at a different location outside your building that gets internet access from a different provider or that is on a different network.
-
Check the connection from your PC to Communilink server.
Do the test in DOS mode and send the result to
ping ftp.yourdomain.com
tracert ftp.yourdomain.com
