[ale] ftp error

[Joe Steele]

Most likely a firewall is interfering with the initiation of a data 
connection from the server back to the client.  FTP connections 
through masquerading firewalls can also lead to problems.  
Many ftp clients have an option for using "passive ftp mode" 
which solves the problem.  I don't know if the ftp client that 
comes with Windows 95 can use passive mode.  You may 
need better software (best solved by getting rid of windows :))
or else fix the firewall problem.

Hi!

I get an error while I'm accessing my ftp server. The error message is
listed below:

ftp>ls
500 Illegal PORT Command
425 Can't built data connection: Connection Refused.
ftp>


Thus anyone encounter this problem. By the way I can login in my account but
the problem are the same whe I type any command. I also  using windows 95 to
access our ftp server.

Thank You In Advanced.
