FTP Client : works under OSX but not WinXP

I have Win XP running under Parallels 5

My FTP client (Filezilla) can connect no problem when I run it from native OSX but when I try to connect to the same server from under Win XP it gets stuck when it tries to get a directory listing.

This is what I get..

COMMAND:> PORT 10,211,55,5,8,83
200 PORT command successful.
COMMAND:> LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
ERROR:> Socket error: WSAETIMEDOUT - Connection timed out. Try using PASV mode (View | Options | Connection) if you receive this error during a LIST, MLSD, or NLST commands. (10060)
STATUS:> Error sending command "LIST". Reconnecting (send attempt 2)...


I have tried other FTP clients and they all have the same issue. Have also tried both Active & Passive.

Any ideas why it will not connect when running from XP ?

thanks
 
Hi,

Paralels Shared Networking really doesn't allow Active FTP. I'd appreciate if you could post here the logs while Passive FTP mode
 
here you go...

257 "/" is current directory.

COMMAND:> TYPE A

Do you have firewall installed on the Mac OS side? If so, may be you need to allow all access for the process prl_naptd. This process provides Shared Networking functionality.
 
nope firewall is set to off

I can run the FTP client from OSX and it connects with no problem. It only has problems when I try to run it from WinXP under Parallels.
 
Sorry, I don't quite understand, you do have firewall installed, but it is turned off?

Please note: I mean that process "prl_naptd" should be added to allow pass through firewall. If this process is somehow limited from accessing networking, Parallels Shared networking may behave the way you described.
 
I don't have any 3rd party firewall installed. The built in firewall in OSX is turned OFF. (Preferences->Security->Firewall)
 
So should I conclude that FTP does not work under Parallels.

If so is there a way I can use my FTP client under OSX but access the c: drive from the WinXP running under parallels ?

Essentially I use the virtual OS for Web Development and need to upload files to the host.

Any ideas ?

It should. I can suggest a remote WebEx session. I'm available any working day 9AM-18PM GMT. Today also works (within nearest 2 hours).

Please send me a private message with your email and acceptable time-frame if you are ready for the session.

PS: What about accessing Windows-disk from Mac OS: there is a way to do so, but I can post how exactly it is can be done only some time later

The disk is already available in the /Volume/C path. To show it on the desktop, do the next:

click Finder icon (the Mac OS one!) -> menu Finder -> Preferences and enable under "Show these items on the desktop" the "Connected servers" option.
 
Gary, Take a look into your private messages. (By default notifications about private-messages are disabled)
 
Same Issue

I use iSpring PRO to FTP powerpoint->flash conversions to my server. If I am in shared networking, I cannot FTP. If I switch to bridged networking, I can FTP but then I cannot FTP on the MAC side. It is a real pain to switch back and forth. Is there any solution? Can I use shared networking if in fact I can switch the ftp mode to passive?
