<!-- from fixya rte -->Problems connecting with server through ftp - Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004

FTP and SSH SFTP are application protocols designed to allow
individuals and businesses to easily transfer files between
computers. The two protocols are commonly used to transfer
data reliably and efficiently, whether it is uploading important
files to your home backup system or securely sharing company
files between two remote offices.
Setting up an FTP server will allow you to receive and share files
with virtually anyone, anywhere in the world. This tutorial will
walk you through the basic steps of downloading, installing, and
configuring Cerberus FTP Server . In addition to standard FTP and
HTTP, Cerberus can also secure your connections with encrypted
SFTP , FTPS, or HTTPS .

Cause: Improper connection of the network cable, An error occurs in the SMTP server/FTP server/ NTS
Check: Check that the network cable is properly connected.
Check the SMTP Server/FTP server for any trouble.

i think its b/c of high ping (internet traffic)

You need to setup a Port Forwarding / Virtual Server (FTP) in the router to forward port 21 (FTP default) to your FTP server's FTP port. You may need to setup a reserved IP address for the FTP server first in the router before the option comes up.

i would suggest that your server ip address has possibly changed. I would contact the people who support your server and ask them if anything has changed.

the fact that your website is up and running does not mean that the FTP should work. Very often your FTP server is physically separate to your web server

please rate this answer if it has been useful

"STOR" is FTP lingo for storing (putting/uploading) the file onto the server. I'm presuming you have entered the appropriate FTP IP address, login and password and the FTP server is setup properly.

Presuming the FTP server is set up correctly, connect your computer to the same cable the Sony IP camera is connected to and use an FTP client from your computer to confirm you can successfully upload files.

If you do not have an FTP client, you can download a free one at:

There are 2 ports used for FTP. They are 20 and 21. When you initiate a connection that occurs on port 21, but data traffic is on port 20. Your firewall sees your outside FTP server trying to 'initiate' a connection on port 20 and breaks the connection to that IP address.
What you need to do is either use 'passive' ftp or open both ports 20 and 21 for ftp traffic in the firewall.

If you're within a network and try connecting to computers on it with the WAN public IP, it simply won't work - you must use the network IP. On an external Internet connection, it should connect fine to the public IP. If you have access to an external machine (remote desktop), or if you know of an FTP proxy, you can try it that way. I also believe http://www.webftp.co.uk/ a web based FTP client would act as somewhat of a proxy, you could try that with the public IP and see how you go.

There should be an option in your touer for having "Static" IP address assigned. Currently, your couter is set for "Dynamic" IP's. I'm not too familiar with this router, but if you go to their support site, they should have some info on how to do this.
