I've been using WS_FTP LE for about ten years now and I have never had any problems with it ... until my hosting provider switched servers recently. The new server uses DirectAdmin, which I love. But now I'm having trouble getting my files uploaded using WS_FTP.
It appears to be entering passive mode and connecting to the server at some wierd port number. After about 20 seconds or so, the connection times out and then the FTP works okay. But I get this 20 second wait period and timeout error message for every single file that I am trying to transfer. I also get the same timeout when I just change directories on the server.
WS_FTP has a long list of server types that I can choose from, so if I just need to choose another server type, just tell me which one! Currently I have tried "UNIX" and "Auto Detect". Both give the same results.
Thanks,
Kurt
