Answer 1

I just ran the 1.1.3 demo against ftp.microsoft.com and the listing worked fine (except of course that putting a file readme.txt will fail as I don't have write permission in main directory).

I did however need to change the code to use active mode rather than passive mode - are you sure you don't have a firewall that is denying use of passive mode?

When running the rundemo.exe on ftp.microsoft.com, I get the following:

Any ideas? Thank you very much.

I know we have firewalls; I thought I did try Active mode and received an error also. If I use just standard FTP from the CMD prompt, goto ftp.microsoft.com using the same id/pwd, then do a DIR, I get a listing of all the files; well, directories. That's why I didn't feel it was a firewall issue.

But I'll try Active and see what happens...

Thank you.

That's what it was. I also had the connectmode set AFTER the login instead of BEFORE. Duh!

Thank you very much!
