It would be useful to know exactly how this is failing and where.
Here's a transcript from a successful data connection with the
command line ftp client (with the debug flag set, to provide the
transcript, and the addresses cloaked for privacy):
---> PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,1,243,79,7,141)
---> LIST
150 Data connection accepted from yyy.3.241.218:29084; transfer starting.
Here's a transcript from Fetch 4.0.2; SimpleFTP, Captain FTP and
NetFinder all report the same error:
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,1,243,79,17,49)
LIST
550 Could not accept passive data connection - timed out.
This is happening on a customer's machine, so I can't easily monitor
packet traffic, but it certainly looks as if Fetch's attempt to
establish the data connection isn't leaving the machine. If it was
getting out, what would block it (and not similar data connections
from the command line client)?
Thanks,
