Hard to diagnose problem here:
Running Serv-U 5 for my FTP server
Have a Netgear router with port 20,21, and 2000-2010 forwarding to my
box with Serv-u
Running CuteFTP 6 for my Client at work (tried other clients as well)
At work, we go through a Socks 4 proxy
Ok, I can connect to my FTP server at home, but when I change
directories, I get a generic "Socks server reports: General Socks
Error" message in CuteFTP and other clients that I have tried.
I double click on the directory again, and I get the error again. But
the third time is the charm, and the directory changes.
If I try to change dir again, same thing happens, it fails on the first
two attempts, but works (usually) on the third. I can transfer files
fine.
I.E. works fine, but of course you can't tell what FTP commands are
going on in the background. I suppose it could be retrying, then
finally working.
The FTP server works fine when access through a non-proxy client, like
from a buddy's house or from one of the many web based FTP clients,
however, I can also FTP from work to a number of public FTP servers
without a problem. Any ideas?
