Cannot upload FTP from Ubuntu 9.04
 
I can upload using FTP from a Windows machine. On same router, Ubuntu (using any FTP app) will transfer 20KB and then stall, so I cannot alter my own web site. Is there any way round this? Perhaps I should try another variety of Linux. I am certain that I used to be able to upload with an earlier version of Ubuntu.

Could you not use scp, or sftp instead of ftp?
FTP is quite old and not secure protocol, I do not use it anymore for long time. Usually "scp -r" works so well and fast on every Linux or Unix server.
I guess sftp works well too.

best not using ftp like the above poster says, scp or sftp is best, but if you must, check the modes being used.

active or passive??

This should give you a clue of what is going on...


Code:
Active FTP :
    command : client >1023 -> server 21
    data    : client >1023 <- server 20

 Passive FTP :
    command : client >1023 -> server 21
    data    : client >1023 -> server >1023

Normally it is a firewall issue/ftp connection tracking on the linux box

FTP problem
 
Solved: Downloaded new firmware for router, reset to factory defaults and set up again. Thank you for replies.
