Possibly. You may also want to try FTP passive mode then.

Are you trying to setup a ftpd server locally to access externally? Or are you just trying to ftp outbound to another computer?

Love to help, just need more precise information.

Cheers,

Keith

Since this is a UNIX forum, I'm going to take for granted that you are coming from a UNIX based OS.

You could first check to see if you can just connect to the port. For example:

$ telnet ftp.unix.com 21

Also, check you /etc/services file to ensure that you are allowing 21/tcp outbound.

You could also traceroute to see where you are getting dropped (asuming that icmp isn't dropped as well)

$ traceroute -p 21 ftp.unix.com

It would also be worthwhile to try multiple ftp sites to ensure that the one you are trying to get to isn't just down.

Cheers,
Keith
