actually i figured it out.

It was a SPI (inspection) built into my d-link router. I turned off the inspection and everything works just fine.

thanks for the help.

Please read FAQ. If that does not help, come back.

What version of WinSCP are you using? Have you tried 4.1.9?

I can connect to a ftp server just fine. However, once I try to change to a different directory on the remote side, WinSCP freezes up or disconnects? I thought this might be a port forwarding issue. I forwarded port 21. That did not help.

I am running 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium with the the current stable version of WinSCP.

I have another Vista machine (32-bit) that has the same exact problem.

Thank you for any help.
