after a ftp put command it just says "200 PORT command successful." and
hangs forever. What could be wrong? when i test the ftp server using IE in
"passive" mode it works fine. but ftp at command line hangs on "200 PORT
command successful." after i enter put <file name>

Check ur firewall if ftp.exe is given access to internet.

Check ur firewall if ftp.exe is given access to internet.

but he said use of ftp://uri works in passive mode in IE

pls reply back unable to understand ur reply.

but he said use of ftp://uri works in passive mode in IE

 

[Thota Umesh]

ok. yes but ftp.exe is an seperate process accessible in dos irrespective of
ftp being workable on ie. if ftp.exe is blocked or if firewall is in no
prompt mode u wont be able to access it.

 

[Roger Abell [MVP]]

Well, as original post does not make clear what firewall if any
might be between I guess it is possible there could be a host
based blockage by originating application.
I was just going on the IE ftp usage showing there is/was no tcp
port blockage.

 

[Thota Umesh]

Yeah, Has to be one of the both. port or app still ends to be a firewall
issue.

I had the same problem , spent hours trying to fix it. I had installed Oracle Vm Virtualbox before and it said that it would temporarily disconnect my internet. As it turns out a reboot was required , the FTP worked fine
