Hi Edwardsk2003,

I think the clue is in the FTP chatter at the bottom - "Command: PASV", which means you are connecting in PASSIVE mode which is not supported on Windows Azure. You need to swap your FTP client to ACTIVE connection mode in order for it to succeed.

Can you check your connection settings and let me know how you get on? Also, what FTP client are you using?

Thanks,

Richard.

Hi,

I'm running into this same issue, but using active mode this time:

I am 100% certain that the account name and key in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg are correct (as i quadruple-checked), and Mode is Live.

Any ideas ?

Thank you,

Hi,

Did you try to set the TCPKeepAlive on the TCP socket ?

it's work for me :

Nope, didn't work.

I'm still having this problem.

I'm noticing this as well.  Taking the Beta v0.2 release and running in Windows Azure did not work.  I also tried the latest source code and latest (1.6) SDK and ran that in Windows Azure - same problem.

Any ideas on what's going wrong with the LIST command?

I spent past few days using this project as base for my FTPS implementation. I feel like I should say something about this issue:)

After the client is successfully authenticated with the server, but before anything else happens, the client and the server agree on who will be initiating the data channel.

In active mode, the client issues a PORT command to the server, providing the server with the local IP address and port number from dynamic range.

The server then will try to connect to the client on that IP with that port.

Herein lies the problem: if your machine is behind an old router or any NAT device it is possible that you are not able to receive incoming traffic on that port.

If you are using FileZilla, use the network wizard's test to determine if you can receive incoming connections:) (Edit>Network Configuration Wizard..->Go through steps->Run Test)

For a test you can set up your router to map all traffic on ports 3000 - 7000 to your machine and test what happens then.

Let us know how it goes;)

I'm having this issue and I tried the test you mentioned in filezilla and set the ports to 6000 - 6100 and forwarded them to my machine. Made sure filezilla was in the firewall settings and i get this.
