FTP...WTF?

[Squancho]

Okay, so I downloaded Filezilla and got as far as getting the "username" and "password" when I tried to upload my video. I enter into the FTP site and connect. Here's what happens after about 30 seconds:

Error: Timeout detected!
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing

I can't make any sense out of this FTP thing. I've done everything it has told me to do and still I can't transfer or upload the AMV. What's going on? How should I rectify this?

Hrm. How many times did you try it? The site is a bit flakey at times with the uploads. This is gonna sound like I'm insulting your intelligence, but are you sure you were going to the right site, with no typos? The site is kero.animemusicvideos.org.

I tried several times and copied and pasted the information as it was given. I even tried the URL thing and still got the same result. If the site is just flaking out, I'll try again and reply if successful. Vut, yeah...makin' me grumbly.

Here's what I see when I connect...

I can't even "drag and drop" the file into the queue or upload. Isn't there another way of doing this?

[trythil]

Command: PORT 192,168,1,103,12,82

That'd do it. Your FTP client is instructing the server to connect to 192.168.1.103 on port 3154, but anything in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet will never be routed across the Internet.

Does FileZilla allow you to work in passive mode?

[Squancho]

Passive mode initiated.

I know it looks kinda rough, but my resources are limited, as is my access to a computer with a DVD drive. Anyway, there it is. Feel free to comment and suggest stuff. Thanks for the assistance!
