Unable to Connect: "Could not retrieve directory listing"
Hi,
I am suddenly having a problem connecting to a server via FTP. Strangely, all SFTP connections work fine, and most other FTP connections work as well. The error that I receive is:
Timeout detected.
Could not retrieve directory listing
Opening ASCII mode data connection.
Error listing directory '/'.
Prior to two days ago, I've been able to access this server for months, without a problem. And others are also able to access it. I've posted the logfile below.
Thanks in advance for your help!
