Android Question FTP Upload problem

[barryhuntpinncomp]

I am trying to FTP a single web page up to my web site. It has worked some months ago.I have tried the Net library and FTP Auto both with the same result.

I have tried two different web spaces of mine with the same result.

The error message I get, after a long time, is:
Error uploading file.
425 Could not open data connection to port 38071: Connection timed out
(The port number changes with each try)

I use a numerical IP address or URL and each yield the same result. The user and password I am using in the real code is correct as I can use other FTP software to administer and access my web sites.

The file is in the correct directory but with zero bytes. I have tried to upload different files all with the same result.

I have tried 2 android phones and one tablet, also both wi-fi and mobile data connection all with the same result.

Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

Here is the code:

Sub Process_Globals
Dim L As String
Dim wifion As Boolean
Dim Writer As TextWriter
End Sub

Sub Globals
Dim FTP As FTP_Auto
Dim myLAN As ServerSocket
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
If FirstTime Then
FTP.Initialize(Activity, Me,"[IP or FTP URL]", "user","pass", 21,True, False)
End If
l = "Line1"
l = l & "Line2"
l = l & "Line3"
l = l & "Line4"
Writer.Initialize(File.OpenOutput( File.DirRootExternal , "test.html",False))
Writer.WriteLine(l )
Writer.Close
CheckForWiFi
If wifion=True Then
FTP.UpLoadFile( File.DirrootExternal ,"public_html", "test.html")
End If
End Sub

Sub CheckForWiFi()
If myLAN.GetMyIP <> "127.0.0.1" Then
Log( myLAN.GetMyIP)
ToastMessageShow ("Internet connected OK", True)
wifion=True
Return
End If
ToastMessageShow ("No Internet connection", True)
wifion = False
End Sub​

I'm not familiar with FTP Auto. Not sure why you need it. FTP from the Net library is pretty simple to use.

Try to set FTP.PassiveMode to true.

Thank you, Erel, that was the fix.

I tried Net first and when I could not make it work I tried FTP Auto.

I had not seen FTP.PassiveMode,

Thank you very much.
