Failed to retrieve directory listing

[Rohan Parmar]

I am having trouble with retrieving the directory from server.
It's showing me the message in log that,
Response: 230 Login successful.
But after some second I got this,
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: CWD /html
Response: 250 Directory successfully changed.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Switching to Binary mode.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (188,94,250,224,165,81)
Command: LIST
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Because of this error I have formatted my laptop and reinstall everything, but got the same error message again.

Can anyone please help me out of this.

The server advertises a listening port for directory data at 188.94.250.224:42321 and for some reason, you cannot connect there. This means that either the server is firewalled, or you are firewalled or some entity is manipulating the network data.

So in order to analyse the problem, disable all anti-virus programs, all network "security" programs and all other programs "doing stuff" with network data, and directly attach yourself to the (DSL, cable, whatever) modem, as the router itself could "alter" FTP sessions.

You of course can try to connect to another server and see whether or not passive FTP connections work there. As an alternative, you can configure FileZilla to use active mode and configure our firewall/router to allow incoming connections.
