If you experience issues using FileZilla, it is possible that a firewall program on your system is disrupting with the connection. Modifying the “transfer mode” in the FileZilla configurations will usually fix this.<\/p>\n

[wpfmb type=’info’ theme=2]New to FTP? I recommend reading our article on FTP Getting started guide<\/a>.[\/wpfmb]
\nThese guidelines describe how to turn on passive mode for FileZilla.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start the FileZilla program if it isn’t already running.<\/li>\n
  2. Click Edit<\/strong>, Settings<\/strong> in the menu bar. The “FileZilla Options” window will appear.<\/li>\n
  3. Select Connections<\/strong>, then FTP<\/strong> on the left hand side.<\/li>\n
  4. Choose the Passive (recommended)<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nThis error can be solved by changing the FTP mode from passive to Active,
    \nJust follow the steps above, but choose “Active” instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
