Re: WinSCP 5.7.6.5874 issue "Could not retrieve directory listing" on FTP server working on ACTIVE MODE

You probably need to tell WinSCP its external IP address, as I assume the server cannot connect to the 192.168.8.33

WinSCP 5.7.6.5874 issue "Could not retrieve directory listing" on FTP server working on ACTIVE MODE

Hi there,
I' having a problem to connect to an FTP server that apparently is set up to work on ACTIVE MODE.

I have no access to the server to verify anything (It's my customer's customer FTP server)
I have no access to my customer firewall

BUT – I can connect, push file up and down etc without any issue using FileZilla or just using cmd.exe.

The FTP server I've been told that is working on active mode, so when I set up my connection, I changed it in advance option unticking "passive mode".

  • File Protocol: FTP
  • Encryption: No Encryption
  • Passive mode: OFF
  • Remote Directory: /

everything else, it's as a new standard connection.

This is what I get
<invalid hyperlink removed by admin>

Here the complete error log
