GetList() throws "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine" exceptionm

0

Hi,

i am facing an issue when I call the _ftp.GetList() method for a directory on remote server. This error occurs for this directory only, may be because this directory has a lot of files that are about 1-2 mb. The FtpException being fired is "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. ". I have disabled windows firewall and disabled my antivirus as well. But this issue is still occurring.

Any help will be appreciated.

Here is the log: Please note that i have replaced some critical info with xxxxx

the issue is solved thankfully.

the problem was that the ftp instance (by default) was connecting in passive mode. when i changed it to active mode, the getfile() returned list without any issues.

Just for my curiosity, what is the difference between active/passive mode in this ftp client?

Nice to know that you have solved it. Here is the difference between active and passive modes:

FTP uses two connections - one for sending commands and the second one for transferring files and directory listing.

In active mode:

  • The client sends the server the IP address port number that the client will use for the data connection
  • and the server opens the connection
  • you must allow incoming traffic on your firewall

In passive mode:

  • The server sends the client an IP address and port number
  • Client opens the connection to the server

The passive mode is more firewall friendly.
