    In this section of the forum, I'm hoping it's not "how do I write my own FTP client" because that's such a late-90s programming exercise.

    Open Source is free like a puppy is free.

    No its not actually.

    The problem is I can't see my files when I log into FTP and i get this error:
    230 User logged in.
    SYST
    215 UNIX Type: L8 Server
    REST 100
    350 Restarting at byte offset 100. Send RETR to initiate transfer.
    REST 0
    350 Restarting at byte offset 0. Send RETR to initiate transfer.
    PWD
    257 "/" is current directory.
    TYPE A
    200 Type set to A.
    PASV
    227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,100,4,116)
    Data Socket Error: Connection refused
    List Error


    other times it just says you have timed out.

    Any help will be appreciated thanks!

    The easiest thing you could do would be to try it with a few different FTP clients. I've seen people have similar problems like that happen for many years with various server/client combinations.

    When all else fails the ftp client built into DOS usually works pretty well. Good luck with it.

    What client are you using? You might want to try turning off Passive mode since in your example, the connection failed after turning it on. Also, try a command line client (included with any OS, I think) and see if you can do an "ls" or "ls -la"

    Check out FlashFXP it has an option to disable passive FTP connections. Some FTP servers have issues when you try to connect to them from behind a proxy server/cable router.
