FTP ; connection timed out
I have a site, and upload files via ftp. I usually use winblows to do it, but I want to use a text based unix program. So why not ftp? I have it installed on my system.
I got the ftp server ip, my login details, and such. I type: Code:
ftp [ip here] 25 Code:
ftp: connect: Connection timed out |
Connection timed out means that either the server is offline, and you can't get connected to it. Or that there's a problem with the server.
But as i see the command u put in: ftp ipaddress 25 Where I take it 25 is port.. It is my understanding that the default port for FTP is 21. And unless specified otherwise by the server u are connecting too, you should use port 21 for connecting to the FTP server. 25 is used for SMTP servers. (mail servers). Try using port 21, i think you won't get a connection timed out then |
