[Solved] FTP batch file suddenly stopped working

Hello, we have a UNIX system the runs our business data.

We have 4 users that use a particular batch command file to extract data for use in the Windows side of the fence: (despreg.bat)

Code:
ftp
ftp> open danapak (database name)
connected to danapak
ftp> user ccsb
password ccsb
ftp> getdespreg2056.txt
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for despreg2056.txt <195 bytes>
226 transfer complete
ftp: 196 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 98.00Kbytes/sec

For some reason, one user's command stops and hangs at the 200 PORT command point, and wont go any further to complete the cycle. Everyone else's works fine. Nothing has changed, it had worked previously up to 1 week ago.

Any experts out there ? the target files haven't been amended or moved on the UNIX system nor has it been touched or re-booted.

These batch files are running on Windows???

Are all 4 users on the same network segment? Or is there something different network wise about the non-working one? Have your network team changed some router or flrewall in the last week?

Yes, all Windows and all on the same Network.

Nothing has changed on the routers or the network - the problem user can still utilise all network drives and use everything as normal.

What version of Windows is the batch file running on?

Two things to try:

1. Switch off the Windows firewall on the non-working machine (just for testing)

and/or

2. Insert the ftp command:

Code:
ftp> quote pasv

between the password line and the get command.

This will switch the ftp session into passive mode (if your Unix box will allow it).
