TheFuzz Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I have encountered a problem FTP'ing behind the corporate firewall. The problem only arises when I try to FTP as a sub-FTP account. I think I have narrowed it down to the requirement to use the full "ID@domainname.com" usage as I believe it trips up the firewall. The firewall requires: id on remote host@jsmith@ftp.cisco.com I think the problem is that the "id on remote host" = id@domainname.com So the extra "@" is causing the firewall to barf. I will try at home tonight (no firewall) and confirm, but I suspect that this is the issue. Any suggestions (other than using the cpanel username?)

TCH-Don Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Have you tried in the ftp program setup remote dir = public_html/subdirectory this should put the files in the subdomain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btrfld Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I have had some luck getting around the extra '@' by replacing it with '%40'. So your address string is something like name%40domain.com@ftp.sub.domain.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi, I get around it by using turtles method, much easier! (that is unless your wanting to give client access and dont want them to see your public_html) Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Thanks for the input. Tried them all and no go. I am now more convinced then ever that the firewall doesn't like the extra "@" that is required for sub-FTP accounts. The rationale: I tried from home (no firewall) and it worked like a champ. Before I bring this up with the firewall group, any final suggestions? Thanks again. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
