FTP access issues...

[karlkras]

Newly installed Linux guest on a W7 Professional host.
Trying to use FTP, getting this:

230 User myname logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
425 Unable to build data connection: Connection timed out

I'm guessing I'm getting a port blockage from the host? Can anyone provide information on how to fix this?

What is your network configuration for the guest, bridged or NAT?
Did you try passive FTP?

This would be NAT.

and yes, using -p works. Now to educate myself a bit more on passive mode...

Thanks!
