| I normally run FTP from the CMD screen with my WinXP PC. Recently, I cannot. I log in OK but cannot send or receive. It times out.
I tried a Shareware FTP programs and they fail also. I am trying "ws_ftp home" and it WORKS!
What have I accidently done with my PC that keeps me from using FTP the old fashioned way? |

| Perhaps it is nothing that you have done.
Web Hosting Sites are all different. For example, some support ASP while others do not.
Check with your Web Host and see what may be different. They may have changed something that effects the way the manual FTP processes run on their site.
I've found that WS_FTP Pro simply works with no major issues.
Tried a few other "FTP" Client programs with mixed results.
Some of those looked like the file uploaded properly but when the file was downloaded from the FTP site it didn't compare as equal to the original file.
That is unacceptable when you upload literally 1000's of files and have to depend upon the accuracy of the data transmitted.
During our evaluation of FTP programs we found that WS_FTP Pro has no major issues... so when it was time to develop an FTP application we went with the SDK for WS_FTP Pro.
The ONLY problem that we ran into was a FTP Site issue where if we lost connection to the FTP site due to a dialup connection getting dropped when in the middle of transferring a file the FTP Site would have the file "locked". (Error 550)
We had no control of the FTP Site. So we came up with a solution that would rename the file then retransmitting it using the new filename when our program determined that this had occurred.
Eventually the FTP Site would drop the partially transmitted file.
