    hey folks,

    i'm having a little problem with my laptop and certain ftp sites. while it will connect fine to my own server at mediatemple, microsoft and mozilla's ftps, when i try to connect to another site i'm working on, casanostrainteriores.com.br, i get a:
    Connection attempt failed with "EACCES - Permission denied". error.]

    This also is happening with Novells FTP server.

    This is happening with all FTP apps I've tried filezilla, flashFXP & fireftp, putty & ftp from CMD.

    I've tried reseting windows firewall & turning it off, turning off my firewall (comodo), adding new app & port rules, reseting app and port rules, pretty much everything i can think of, but to no avail!

    so please, if this is something you recognize, help would be greatly appreciated :)

    thanks

    if you have comodo, then it should have already turned the windows firewall off. Do any of your ftp programs give you a log of the connection attempt? Either you have the address/port wrong, or more likely it's a firewall issue.

    yeah, i generally turn off the windows firewall when i install a 3rd party one anyways.

    the only logs i could find was:

    Status: Waiting to retry...
    Status: Resolving address of ftp.casanostrainteriores.com.br
    Status: Connecting to 200.189.242.57:21...
    Status: Connection attempt failed with "EACCES - Permission denied".
    Error: Could not connect to server

    Status: Waiting to retry...
    Status: Resolving address of novell.org
    Status: Connecting to 130.57.5.70:21...
    Status: Connection attempt failed with "EACCES - Permission denied".
    Error: Could not connect to server

    and then i go hit mozilla and:

    Status: Resolving address of ftp.mozilla.org
    Status: Connecting to 63.245.208.138:21...
    Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
    Response: 220-
    Response: 220- ftp.mozilla.org / archive.mozilla.org - files are in /pub/mozilla.org
    Response: 220-


    its just bugging me that it is connecting to some of my servers and not to others! ports, addys etc are all fine, firewalls are off and i'm still getting the above response..

    Hummmm most of the time this is a firewall or anti virus issue. How much of a problem would it be to deinstall comodo run the FTP and reinstall comodo if it doesn't work?

    well that did the trick! uninstalled & then reinstalled the new comodo suite fresh from their site.. now i'm connecting without a problem..

    thanks again
