Marc if you have trouble call me at the office any time.

[Guest]

Thanks Jay. I am now able to get on there just fine. I was getting denied access.

I have never been able to access it... Is there a likely explanation for this ?

[Guest]

Well, what software are you using to try to connect?

 

Are you behind a firewall?

 

If trying to connect from work are you restricted?

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

Software ?

Internet Explorer version 6 ? Or did you mean something else ?

 

I am only accessing from home. I have cable internet here. I am behind a router. I tried disabling Windows XP's firewall... I have no other firewall... I am "administrator" of this computer...

 

I start by clicking the link in the forum.

 

The site tries to open but windows looks to be searching...

 

bottom of browser says "getting contents of folder"

 

after a few seconds (20 ?) I get a window popping up that says

 

"an error occurred opening that folder on the FTP server"

 

"make sure you have permission."

 

"Details: the operation timed out"

 

I have tried this on several occasions with the same result...

 

I don't have any trouble getting to ftp.mastercam.com

I just tried using Filezilla it worked. IE didn't work. I am also using cable internet with router. Didn't have to disable anything. Download filezilla and try using it. The IT guy where I work said it was the best way to get on FTP sites anyway.

[gcode]

I'm using it with IE, Zone Alarm abd WinXP2 SP2

No trouble at all.

I download a file a half hour ago, now I'm uploading one

What Gcode you taking stuff from the FTP?

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

Hey,

 

thanks for the replies, guys... I actually just figured it out myself ! Hopefully this can help somebody else in the future...

 

In Internet Explorer 6, click "tools", "internet options", select "advanced" tab, scroll down to "use passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)" and CLEAR the checkbox, "apply", and voilla welcome to the FTP site !
