Can’t open data connection for ftp transfer
Q: I’m using the attached FTP source that I have set to get files, but I’m getting an error when reading the directory. I’m able to access the folder using Cyberduck fine with the same settings. Below is the log showing the response I get. I’m using v2024.2.24.0. Please let me know if you need anything else to troubleshoot.
A: It looked like the system was not able to open a data connection to the FTP server (425 Can’t open data connection for transfer) and we asked the user to switch be to ‘Active’ mode. FTP is using two channels, a command and a data channel. So if you are able to connect, then you know at least the command channel is working. If you are not able to receive directory listings, then you know something is wrong with the data channel. The data channel can be used in active and passive mode (passive mode = default).
Reply user: “That seemed to work. Thank you.”
