WB won't FTP upload from some hotels

Postby FrankC » Sat Jan 26, 2019 7:19 pm

I travel a lot for my work and sleep in hotels frequently. Every now and then, I cannot upload with WB, while I then can with FileZilla. I am now in such a hotel. I get this message:

Could not complete the transfer.
FTP Error: I won't open a connection to [IP number], only to [another IP number]


As said, uploading with FileZilla goes well, without having to change any setting. Thanks for looking into this.

Forgot to mention: I'm using the latest WB version.

A response from the people of WB, please? Even if you don't know?

This error message can appear when there are some shenanigans with the IP address, it's redirected or changed in a weird way. One thing that might help - right click the FTP connection that you are trying to connect to, select Edit FTP Site and make sure that Passive Mode is checked.

OK, I'll try that next time I encounter the problem. Or should that be the preferred setting anyway?

Encountered the problem again in the hotel I'm staying in now, but setting setting it to Passive mode indeed solved the problem.

Which leaves just one question: what would be the advantage of de-ticking it ('Active mode'?)?
