What FileZilla FTP settings should I be using to access Miva Hosted sites.
Recently I've been having FTP problems uploading to sites or just getting directory listing.
I'm Using FileZilla but have experienced the same problem with 2 other FTP programs.
Typically the site hangs up on MLSD command, (MLSD loads a directory listing), but also file uploads hang and either 1) complete eventually, 2) timeout/fail, or 3) act like they succeeded but the uploaded file has 0 length.
Searching the web for MLSD, and various forum posts report:
a) Some firewalls do not know to support the MLSD command and that they simply stall. Contact your Admin.
b) There is a problem with the FTP server software.
Error: Line feed received without preceding carriage return
The replies sent by your server are violating the FTP specifications.
You have to upgrade to a proper server.
c) Switch to SFTP since it uses LS instead
d) Switch ON passive mode
d) Switch OFF passive mode
e) Require explicit FTP over TLS
I've tried all these settings in various combination and nothing seems to work 100% of the time.
