[QUOTE="Ian, post: 1107257, member: 91052"] Hi folks, I configured MediaPortal to access a FTP Server, but it fails to get a directory listing. The problem can be reproduced in my network by accessing the FTP Server via a CLI. (note: the FTP Server is INSIDE my network and no Firewall that I am aware of is in between) Example: [code]ftp -d [server] Connected to [server]. 220 "Welcome" ftp: setsockopt: Bad file descriptor Name ([server]:[some user]): [ftpuser] ---> USER [ftpuser] 331 Please specify the password. Password: ---> PASS XXXX 230 Login successful. ---> SYST 215 UNIX Type: L8 Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> dir ftp: setsockopt (ignored): Permission denied ---> PORT 192,168,10,102,161,125 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. ---> LIST 425 Failed to establish connection.[/code] As you can see the client already gives a good hint: "Consider using PASV" So, when i try to access the FTP server in a passive mode it works. After spending some days troubeshooting the active mode problem of the FTP server in my own network, I am that close to throw some hardware out of the window. Since I can't find the error in the network I was looking for a workaround (I can still find the error, but I'd be more fun while watching some of the films i outsourced on my FTP server ;) ) The workaround would be to enable Mediaportal to use passive mode. Please, please, PLEASE and one extra PLEASE with cream on top tell me that it isn't that big of a problem to make MediaPortal doing the passive thing. [/QUOTE]
