Re: FTP from browser |
I just tried texts01, audio03, movies03, and movies04 at random and got similar results.
After a long wait, it gives an error 421.
audio04 seems to work fine from the browser.
HTH.

Re: FTP from browser |
This is because passive mode transfers (the transfer type supported by browsers) have been disabled recently. I suspect a packet filtering firewall is blocking access to high ports on ftp servers.
Normal mode FTP transfers will work but this mode is not supported by many sites/clients as it's too insecure for the client side.
Distributed Proofreaders (
www.pgdp.net) has noticed this problem & it's annoying our users who are trying to load content and are unable to.
Please fix the firewall packet filter so passive mode transfers are once more permitted.
BTW - the TIA has been bouncing every hours or so for about 5 minutes. No network connectivity - like a switch/router is giving up & rebooting.
Thanks,
Pourlean

Re: FTP from browser |
Thanks to those who looked in to this and for the heads-up.
Occasionally, I browse the ftp servers with a browser and then download with wget (for features such as -c and --limit-rate=##k). This is a nice way for me in general. It's nice to know that people are working on it.
Thanks!
