I am writing again because I can't get an answer.
Sometimes when i try to create or CD into a directory, FTP freezes.
Eventually it will say it timed out. This is with every FTP client.
for example with WS_FTP it says "Receive error, connection aborted."
I have tried passive mode, totally shutting down all firewalls,
shutting down virus protection, and opening all possible ports UDP and
TCP. I tried uninstalling service pack 2 and i think that worked for a
minute, but it's not working now.
I've had the same problem on other XP computers, although not every XP
computer. Sometimes it appears in different ways, for example, i may
not be able to transfer certain files.
When I boot in Linux mode and do FTPs there, everything works fine.
When I installed an FTP server on my own computer to test it out,
everything worked fine. Besides that, the same thing happens w/ every
client and every FTP server i have tried. (So the problem isn't the
client or the server , the hardware, or the network)
The craziest thing is that this only happens from my home computer when
a file name or directory name is 7 chars long. I can't mkdir, cd or
cd into any directory that is 7 chars. It's a very strange problem,
but unique to Windows XP.
Can any one give advice on solving this?
