posted January 28, 2004 9:34 PM Hello, On the same xp-based machine, I can successfully use an ftp client (FTP Voyager) to connect to a variety of sites, but when I run the vb.net sample ftpclient_VB, I get an error on login that either the connection is invalid, the port is not 21, or the server is not available. none of these conditions are true. i am sure this is something pretty simple, but I am getting frustrated. I have disabled all firewall products and cant think of any reason this should not work. I am working off the local machine (an xp laptop running iis 5). Please help and thanks in advance. |

posted January 28, 2004 10:09 PM All the samples work fine for me, so I'll start by asking some questions: Is the server you are connecting to SSL? If so, is it implicit (usually port 990) or explicit (usually port 21)? Are you setting the Authentication Type property to match the server? You say "ftpclient_VB", while there is no sample with that exact name I assume that you are using the ASP.NET sample written in VB. If so, try the VB sample instead and see if that works. If it doesn't, please repost and describe the exact settings you use on the login window and also the exact error message that you get and which function raised it. |

posted January 28, 2004 10:17 PM No SSL, Port 21, Auththentication type I need to look into but I am sure it is clear text - not anything special. The target server is a Windows 2000 box with several FTP areas setup. I tried the online sample on your site and got the same results so there is something wierd going on here. I tried a linux box with your sample and it worked fine. |

posted January 28, 2004 10:26 PM Don't forget that the online sample is running behind our firewall so it may be an issue with your server not liking us. I stringly suggest that you run the actual VB sample on your machine. |
