My config is very basic

mt_ftp.connect({
    host: ftp_config.ftphost,
    user: ftp_config.ftpuser,
    password: ftp_config.ftppass
});

Also, another question is that should I use the error event to handle such things:

https://github.com/mscdex/node-ftp#events

[SteveyPugs]

I am still getting this error except is something more like:

[Error: Unable to make data connection( Error: connect ECONNREFUSED)]

[mscdex]

Yes, add a 'data' event handler for the errors.

As far as the error itself goes, it sounds like something is blocking the data connection. It could be something client side or server side (firewall or otherwise).

Ok, thanks!

I applied the error event to see what's going on. If I find anything else, I will re-open

@SteveyPugs hi,I'am also have this problem. The ftp is not stable,sometimes it connect OK,sometimes broken.

[woshi82]

@SteveyPugs how did you solved the problem??

[SteveyPugs]

@woshi82 I have really haven't solved this issue. @mscdex it might be due to our FTP login my account out. Is there anything in the code that would allow for reconnection similar to:

[mscdex]

There is no auto-reconnect at the moment.
