[dba-Tech] FTP

[Rocky Smolin]

I'm still struggling with this FTP problem. To review - user want to have a
one button program to FTP a report (PDF) up to his server.

I'm using FTP.EXE to test the commands. Here's the results:

ftp> open server1.charltonweeks.com
Connected to server1.charltonweeks.com.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 100 allowed.
220-Local time is now 16:05. Server port: 21.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 30 minutes of inactivity.
504 Unknown command
User (server1.charltonweeks.com:(none)): report at aveviction.com
331 User report at aveviction.com OK. Password required
Password:
230-OK. Current restricted directory is /
230 21 Kbytes used (0%) - authorized: 2048000 Kb
ftp> lcd C:\Clients\Charlton
Local directory now C:\Clients\Charlton.
ftp> binary
200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
ftp> put "This is a test.docx"
500 I won't open a connection to 100.73.58.84 (only to 136.22.14.68)
425 No data connection

The file "This is a Test.docx" shows up in the target directory on
the server (I'm using FileZilla to check this) but no data is transferred.

The site guy (who is in Pakistan) said:

ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
exit

But this did not help.

Additional datum: when I have my VPN ON (Google 1 VPN) I can connect.  When
it is OFF the OPEN command in FTP.EXE times out.

Any ideas?
