I mentioned this in another thread but I think it may be a separate issue so I am starting a new thread for it. Basically, I am unable to FTP in to my web-space provider on Linux (although I can login through a Windows partition on the same machine). When I try, it goes something like this:

ftp webhost.com
Connected to webhost.com.
220 Ftp server ready.
502 Unimplemented command.
502 Unimplemented command.
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
Name (webhost.com:mysystemlogin): mywebspacename
331 User mywebspacename okay, need password.
Password:
<Several Minute Long Pause>
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Login failed.
No control connection for command: Transport endpoint is not connected
ftp>

Strangely, when I give an incorrect password it tells me as much without the pause. I've tried disabling IPv6, and I've tried (in KBear) selecting "disable PASV mode". Neither has helped. As far as I know my system has no firewall, and while my router does it shouldn't be interfering with FTP (as I said, everything works fine on the same system in Windows). I would just switch web space providers, but I recently registered my domain name with them and evidently I can't transfer it to a new provider for 60 days. So since I am stuck with these guys (who basically said that if I'm not using Windows they wont' help me) any help I can get here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I am running Mandrake 10.1 community.

Do you get the same thing with gftp?

Yup, the log looks something like this (blah's inserted to protect the guilty/innocent ):
Looking up blah.com
Trying blah.com:21
Connected to blah.com:21
220 Ftp server ready.
USER blah
331 User blah okay, need password.
PASS xxxx
PASV
Connection to blah.com timed out
Disconnecting from site blah.com

I had mucho networking issues with 10.1 C. Strange things like MTU settings being incorrect and the such. I could login to some servers, but not other for no apparent reason. I couldn't get into Yahoo!, but I could get into gmail. Weird.

Regardless, try upgrading to 10.1 official.

This is also what I've been hearing about 10.1 community, I'm runnin' 10.0 powerpack 10, maybe think abt upgrading to official 10.1 or regressing to 10.0 powerpack

I assume that this fails when using the standard terminal ftp client too?

$ ftp webhost.com

Does you Linux hostname match your Windows hostname? What program do you use to connect to the FTP on Windows?
