Can't Connect with FTP

[Eric Schleicher]

Importing files through the UI is starting to become tedious.  Would like to start using FTP to stage/manage them.

I'm testing with filezilla, connecting to my structure instance over 8021 (default structr.conf files) and get the following output upon connecting.   while it show 127.0.0.1 here, it's acutally a tunnel into my server environment...  FWIW.

Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8021...

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Response: 220 Service ready for new user.

Command: USER admin

Response: 331 User name okay, need password for admin.

Command: PASS *****

Response: 230 User logged in, proceed.

Command: OPTS UTF8 ON

Response: 200 Command OPTS okay.

Command: OPTS MLST size;modify;type;

Response: 200 Command OPTS okay.

Status: Connected

Status: Retrieving directory listing...

Command: PWD

Response: 257 "/" is current directory.

Command: TYPE I

Response: 200 Command TYPE okay.

Command: PASV

Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,215,253)

Command: MLSD

Response: 150 File status okay; about to open data connection.

Error: The data connection could not be established: ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server

Error: Connection timed out

Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

I saw some other thread regarding it taking a really long time to come back (gettting file list), but i don't think that's the problem i'm having.  

Another interesting note.   the last two lines (connection time out)  take a while to show up.

Thoughts?

Hi Eric,

once you try to open a binary transfer connection, this connection will
use a different port, and I'm suspecting that this port is not tunneled.
This will be tricky to resolve because you don't know in advance which
port will be used.

I found a very good read on that topic just now:

Best,
Christian
