 One note that we may want to consider at the next meeting:
 
   The LUG should probably own a current copy of
   Partition Magic.  It looks like it is about $70 an
   the PowerQuest web site.

Amazon.com has it for $60 with $20 rebate + $15 Amazon rebate, so
it could be under $30.

[tslug] FTP Weirdness

2002-09-12 Thread Brandon Chisham

I was planning on updating my website tonight, but I am encountering some 
interesting problems. I first connected with the ftp command, logged in 
successfully, but could not get a directory listing. Typing ls or dir 
results in the message 227 Entering Passive Mode 
(65,57,234,170,224,168). which is normal, but then the connection times 
out. Next I logged in anonomyously with a similiar result.
I tried lftp and the same thing happend. So I grudely started X up and 
tried gftp, which also timed out. Next I sshed to gold and connected to my 
site from there and could get the listing with no problem, which leads me 
to believe that things are working fine on that end. I can ftp to 
normally other sites, tux.org for example. Basically I'm wondering if 
there is an easy way to determine if the problem is a result of my 
configuration or ITS.
Thanks,
Brandon

I just tried logging into another domain that I own jessica-chapman.com,

without any trouble.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I just ftp'd into jessica-chapman.com and logged in as anonymous and
was able to pull a directory listing (just one folder, incoming) in
both windows and linux. Based off that, I'd hazard a guess to say the
problem is on your end. I'd again hazard a guess that if you are
running a firewall you could be blocking a needed port, but I have no
idea what that could be (I think active ftp uses 20 for something...).
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

This might be fine.  I suppose we're unlikely to need to resize
ntfs partitions.

You never can tell about these things.  One person might be using
regular (active?) connections and another passive.  I couldn't
say with authority that the firewall would treat each
identically.

It sounds like you are connecting to port 21(ftp) correctly.  But
ftp uses a second connection for data transfer and the way that
is set up differs for passive ftp connections.  It's possible
that your second connection is getting blocked.

2002-09-12 Thread Brandon Chisham

Thanks for the help. I think that I will get around the issue by having my 
host enable ssh access for my site so that I can scp the files to it. This 
is the first time that I've actually encountered this sort of problem, so 
I thought that I would see if anyone had had similar problems.
