FTP weird behavior
« on: February 08, 2016, 19:29:56 »
Just a quick question on FTP.
I normally use Filezilla, but I saw that for uploading pics MC would be much better as it can show thumbs of the images.  So I have tried it on 2 different sites. 

In my attempts to use MC I find that it will start out OK but after a while seems to lock up during any transfer, it won't disconnect/reconnect & the connection 'drive letter' stays on the drive toolbar until MC is restarted.

I can restart MC & then reconnect OK, (but with loss of session partial transfers) but MC will then lock again....
I am leaving it on default settings & entering URL, login & pw etc. 

Any ideas?

Clash between NOOP & passive modes perhaps?

Ran a few more experiments & it seems the servers wanted 'passive' checked & didn't like NOOP being active.
This was my fault I guess as Filezilla doesn't present these options in the same way - so I had to guess  :-\

MC does present a very useful FTP option & I think Filezilla might be retired ;)
