'PASV - passive port theft error'

Question

Hi!
I am using com.enterprisedt package for FTP to a remote client to fetch a file to the server.But while running the application we get a 'PASV - passive port theft error'.We cannot go with changing the security settings on the production server.Are there any workarounds for fixing this error through the code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The FTP server thinks that a connection from an IP address other than your client's has occurred (after the client transfer has been initiated) - perhaps because of a firewall in between?

Try using active mode.
