Having severe trouble trying to set up an FTP program (WinSCP) and could do with a bit of help identifying the problem. Am almost computer illerate too which doesn't help matters. :)
It seems to be failing right at the end. I have the session set up as directed, and when I log on it connects OK, the session starts, it reads the remote directory, but fails when retrieving the directory listing.
The following pops up:
Timeout detected (I've set the timeout to as much as 100 seconds but still get this)
Could not retrieve directory listing
PORT command successful
Error listing directory '/blahblah.ie'.
As far as I can see the remote directory name is correct, and when I change it to an incorrect name it tells me straightaway on logging in.
I had it working before on XP, though I had to make a slight change to the information I was given to get it to work the last time but can't remember what it was (was arsing about changing things for an hour :D ). I've now got a new machine running Vista. Plus I think this is a newer beta version of WinSCP.
I can't check back because my old machine is f*cked!
