FTP Directory listings not working #3

Closed NemoN closed 2 years ago

NemoN commented 2 years ago

The login is working, but then the directory listing is failing silently. It is possible to enable the "passive FTP mode"?

FTP is set to passive by default. Setting to active, stops communication. I think that it's firewall related. I can replicate the connection problems by setting my firewall access to private on a public connection. Setting the connection to public seems to let all communication happen. It's really frustrating as I'm using standard Windows API commands. I can't understand why the connection still fails for some users. The only other thing is. the connection may need some delays for slower connections.

I don't keep a firewall on my test Windows 10 VM at all. Neither 8a nor unstable are able to get a directory listing from FTP. You should enable debug output of some kind.
