ftp fails to connect to godaddy sftp ok but very slow to con

Post by johnmcglaughlin »

I can connect to my godaddy account using filezilla in both ftp and sftp services
when connecting to godaddy I get a connected to message followed by a
FTP error: could not open data connection to port 5001: connection refused
I have tried with a blank port, port 21, and port 22

I can at least get a connection to the server via SFTP but this is slow and tedious for single file transfers waiting for the re connect after timeout. Large data uploads are fine. Filezilla works fine with normal FTP and SFTP protocols.

I have had no trouble with any of the other three hosting services I work with.

This is a new Virtual server and Virtual Dedicated server. I am at a loss as our growth is making me consolidate with a hosting service that has good 24x7 support. Unfortunately the proof of problem is on me since alternative ftp applications have no problem accessing the server.

Have you tried suggestions related to FTP problems found in our knowledge base first? For example - turning on passive mode.

How can I Implement FTP into my own program? We have a program written in foxpro. Our software sends and receives files using FTP protocol to our web server. As it is now, it uses a dos interface, as in it runs a batch file and that's that. I would like to use a more attractive interface to send and receive my files. Any suggestions?

This is an offtopic. You need to get a good developer who would program the FTP part from scratch, I am not sure that is even possible in FoxPro.

SmartFTP is a very powerful ftp client. It has also an FTP library for developers: see at http://www.smartftp.com/ftplib/
