MemberI am trying to copy file for my FTP Server and every time I try it just stop, and times out. Here is a copy of what I see.
C:\>ftp
ftp> open (FTP Server)
Connected to (FTP Server)
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (FTP Server): (Username)
331 Password required for (FTP Server)
Password: (Password)
230 User (FTP Server) logged in.
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode off.
ftp> binary
200 type sit to I.
ftp> mget *.bakThat is all I get and it just locks up. If someone could help me out that would be great.

The mget command will display a Y/N prompt for each file. I would guess that, since you have the interactive mode turned off, the server is waiting for an answer to a prompt that your ftp session is not displaying.

The server responds on the control connection with three digit status codes in ASCII with an optional text message, for example "200" (or "200 OK.") means that the last command was successful. A file transfer in progress over the data connection can be aborted using an interrupt message sent over the control connection

FTP can be run in active mode or passive mode, which control how the second connection is opened. 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. Passive mode was devised for use where the client is behind a firewall and unable to accept incoming TCP connections. The server sends the client an IP address and port number and the client opens the connection to the server. Both modes were updated in September 1998 to add support for IPv6 and made some other changes to passive mode, making it extended passive mode.
