Anyone else had FTP problems using Hone Internet?
I am testing T-M Home Internet and although it has Ben generally good so far, I just ran into a problem when I attempted a routine FTP upload using CyberDuck to a website I maintain. When I try to co...
SUCCESS AT LAST!
I have finally learned how to switch macOS Cyberduck from passive to active mode, and it is now working on the gray tower-TM Home Internet.
For anyone else in the same situation, here is how to do it.
(1) Edit a bookmark rather than just opening a connection. This will show a "More Options" drop-down.
(2) Open “Connect Mode” and select“Active (PORT)”
I am just hoping T-M does not make any changes that will stop this from working…
Thanks to jayke for his advice. I've been really frustrated with this problem. I maintain 3 sites, 2 with one provider and a 3d with another. I had no problem with FileZilla client and these sites with phone company DSL. Switched to TM Home Internet and problems began with the 2 sites but not the other. I would connect, but it was really slow trying to get into directories and would eventually time out with something like "4125 Users connected--too many." I communicated with my ISP and he had no trouble FTPing to the sites. Finally, I went to the library and used their WiFi and everything worked great. So, it had to be the TM gateway. But I can't go to the library whenever I need to maintain a site.
Following jayke's advice just now I tried FileZilla on both sites I maintain and in the Site Manager dialog box's Transfer Settings tab changed "Transfer Mode" from "Default" to "Active" and everything seems to be working. I can get into directories quickly and upload files.
I wish TM had a better way to disseminate information like this. Actually, I wish they would FIX THE GATEWAY so it wouldn't be an issue going forward.
Thanks again, jayke.
