Hi everyone,
I'm have a quite odd FTP problem. The thing is I cannot connect to FTPs using: gFTP / Firefox / urpmi (I can't even update my pc using urpmi!), but I can connect normally using the ftp command line problem.
I've being having this problem for the last month or so. On windows the ftp functions normally on FTP Core.
Here is a demonstration of the problem.
Using command line ftp:
Code:
[felipe@Lapa ~]$ ftp mandrake.contactel.cz
Connected to mandrake.contactel.cz.

As you can see I connected successfully to mandrake.contactel.cz using ftp on the command line.
Now trying to add this repository with urpmi:
Code:
[root@Lapa felipe]# urpmi.addmedia main2 ftp://mandrake.contactel.cz/Mandrake...586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz
incapaz de acessar a arquivo 'hdlist' de "main", mídia ignorada

This doesn't happen only to this ftp site, acctually I tryed more then 20, and that's very wierd because urpmi used to function normally. Also
ftp://mandrake.contactel.cz/Mandrake...info/hdlist.cz does exist. I could even download it using the command line ftp.
FTP also won't work on Firefox. It simply won't, the page stays loading forever and I could not find any ftp configurations on firefox.
gFTP also doesn't work (and it used to work). It will say the login was successfull. Here is it's output:
Code:
USER braillevirtual
331 Password required for braillevirtual.
PASS xxxx
230 User braillevirtual logged in.
SYST
215 UNIX Type: L8

Carregando lista do diretório /home/braillevirtual do servidor (LC_TIME=pt_BR)
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (143,107,48,115,133,105)
It will remain in Passive Mode forever, I will never be able to see the contents of the directory. This site works perfectly when I connect using the command line FTP.
I'm behind a router, but that shouldn't be a problem, since:
1 - FTP worked last month
2 - I don't think that ftp clients should be affected by routers... only servers should
I searched a lot, but couldn't find any answers...
I also don't remember changing anything related to networking or anything last month that could be causing this... ftp just started to slowly stop functionning.
I'm using Mandriva 2005 / connecting throught cable, perfectly working www / http internet.
Any help apreciated,
Felipe
