asked on

cannot connect to ftp server.

We insatlled a linksys wireless router wrvs4400.  I have set the ports 20 and 21 so they are open.

I cannot connect to our server.  It times out.  If i ping the server it works.  If i use the www.idppubs.com to ping the server it times out.  Is seems that when we upload to our site it times out.  I cannot understand this.  I called the site that has our host and they say it times out in the philadelphia area.  We are in easton, so that must mean it leaves this place.

thanks

if you can ping the server successfully then you have no problem in network reachability or routing. You need to talk to your isp or the remote server admin to see if there is a firewall or access list somewhere blocking your ftp connection
