Error Message 500

Question

All,

I have been using the edtFTPnet product at several locations for more then 2 years. At one account they recently had a router switch and now the ftp program will not work. I am sending 3 different files from three different PC's and I am getting the following error message on all 3:

'RE*T 0': command not understood (code=500)

Has anyone come across this before?

Regards,

Scott

Answer 1

If the command being received by the server is "RE*T 0" rather than "REST 0", then it is not surprising that it is returning 500.

It sounds like your routers may be corrupting the FTP commands.

Use Wireshark to inspect packets going out from edtFTPnet to ensure that the command is REST 0, and take a look at the server logs to see what the server is receiving, just to confirm this theory.
