Invalid PORT Command

[zuber]

I have my server ftp port set to 343. UltraEdit gives me error code 500 Invalid PORT Command.

Is there any way round this? Why won't UE recognise port 343?

Hi Zuber

I hope this is this easy!

On the FTP Accounts page, lower right corner you can type in a port # to use.

"FTP/Proxy Port:" default is Port 21
Type over the number 21.

Hope that Helpls

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I didn't make myself clear, yes, I have set the port select to 343.

Hi Zuber

I knew it couldn't be that easy!

If no one answers this, I'd fire off a email to support@idmcomp.com

They are very good at getting back to you very quickly!

Sorry I'm not smart enough to answer your question.

This is the server conversation that I get - if it's any help!

The "Invalid PORT" error has nothing to do with the port where your service is running. It's all about the FTP/SFTP command "PORT" which shows up in your logs:

PORT 10,0,0,3,81,222
500 Invalid PORT Command.

This is an attempt to open a data connection from the server to IP address 10.0.0.3 on port 20958 (or (81 * 65536) + 222), which is not working.

You may just need to use passive FTP. Try going to the "Accounts" dialog, then click the "Advanced" button and check the box marked "Passive Transfers (for firewalls)" immediately above the combo box for "Server Type".
