FTP Passive Mode

Avance · Feb 4, 2006

Hi,
How do I stop my computer from entering passive mode when uploading on to ftp? I am using Windows XP home edition with Internet Explorer 6, thanks

Which FTP client are you using? Try using www.smartftp.com and disable passive mode in the options there

Passive FTP

Dont use IE as your ftp client!!!

There are many others available that do a better job.

Thats why you should use an FTP application - not only is it more suited, but you can disable passive mode

I used Bulletproof FTP for sharing in the past. Really easy to use.

For access I used SmartFTP

I appear to have developed the same problem, so is there anyway to fix this?

Yeah get SmartFTP and disable Passive FTP, Windows does not let you change this option, it's dead easy with SmartFTP and has been mentioned above already
