Guest bill Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 I tried using commander and cute ftp, i get the same message 500 illegal port command. when it tries to retrive directory listing. I have a resseler account and dont know if i have some wrong setting with the ftp, i followed the directions on both. cant seem to find what the problems is? does anyone know? Quote
TCH-JimE Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Hi, A 500 illegal port error is "The command was not accepted and the requested action did not take place" Found here This could suggest that you need to change the direction of your ftp. In other words, you want to use passive mode. it changes the direction tha tthe data conneciton gets opened (from you machine to the server instead of from the server to your mahchine). I need to start using cuteftp because at present, i use WSFTP! Jim Quote
KevinW Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 I use CuteFTP to access my TCH reseller site with no problems. Passive (PASV) should be set (enabled) by default. However, I just tested CuteFTP by disabling the PASV option and I was still able to access my site. For each web site you set up under your reseller acocunt, be sure that you are using the assigned web site's master account name and password for the CuteFTP Finally, we do provide some Flash movie tutorials on using CuteFTP on TCH's Help Web Site.
