This just started today, after an organization-wide network outage, the nature of which has still not been explained.

ftp connect from my workstation (Win7 Pro) to various Linux servers works, until I try to actually 'get' a file:

C:\temp>ftp <myserver>
Connected to <myserver>.<myorg>.org.
220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
User (<myserver>.<myorg>.org:(none)): oracle
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
ftp> cd <mydir>
250 Directory successfully changed.
ftp> binary
200 Switching to Binary mode.
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode Off .
ftp> get <myfile>.zip
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
425 Failed to establish connection.
ftp>

From the 'get' command, the '200' message appears instantly, and then there is a delay of 60 seconds before the '425' message.

Looking for additional info or questions I can take to the network admin guy.

  • Ok, I see that the question was "answered" elsewhere. Sort of. First, PASV is not supported by the ftp client on Win7. Second, this is a batch process that has been working for several years, and the problem just manifested itself after a corporate-wide network issue, so it is not something inherent in my script. – EdStevens Apr 11 '17 at 15:07
  • FWIW, after rebooting my own desktop, the problem cleared itself. I guess this will just have to go down as an unsolved mystery. – EdStevens Apr 11 '17 at 15:16
