Posted this elsewhere with no luck, can anyone here help?
A collegue is having difficulties with transferring files by FTP, I suggested using something other than Windows FTP software as it's usually read me
Problems persisted so I said to open FTP from a command prompt. It connected to the site and requested user name - entered (no problems)
requested password - entered (terminated by remote host so never actually connects via command line)
So, as far as I can tell it's not a software problem
I'm under the impression that this is caused by firewalling on his connection, is this so (I checked that windows firewall et al were off)? If not any ideas of what to do?
If it is the internet connection (he's in a hotel in Dubai) is there anything I can do other than ring the hotel (would some sort of web based port redirection service work?)?
Lots of question marks here so any help would be gratefully received
FULLY star out swear words please
