Got a bit of a weird problem and it’s now driving me mad.
Some of our staff need to connect to an external FTP server to update information on a website. However, they cannot connect to the site (tried using Dreamwever’s own FTP client, Windows, IE, FireFox, Commandline and FileZilla).
Strangely, we can access other external FTP servers (including my personal server at home), but not this one. I can access this “problem” FTP server from my house.
I have disabled Windows Firewall, and have put in an outgoing rule to allow ports 20 and 21 in our corporate Firewall.
Our LAN sits behind a Netgear FVS336g Firewall. We have Windows XP clients, with IE8. I can provide any further information requested. The host company says it’s a problem with our network and therefore can’t help. I’m not sure it is 100% our fault as we can access other FTP sites.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
