Hi, I suggest you to turn off Windows Firewall and then to try. Hopes these can help you.

Hi Spencer, We cannot remove Firewall . Kindly provide alternate solution.

Hi, If you can't turn off Firewall, you shuold try to open port 20 and port 21 in your Windows server 2008. Then to try.

HI, 20 and 21 ports are already open in Windows server 2008 .

Hi, Do you use the right IP address? From your problem, it can be found that your FTP server's IP address is 195.190.156.52, and your client IP address shuold be 195.229.97.34 not 172.29.84.16. Actually, i have no idear where do you get ip-address 172.29.84.16. Therefore you shuold type like this, ftp> put "\\195.229.97.34\Jitterout\testuasc.txt" "testuasc.txt"

Hi, 172.29.84.16(Local N/W) is the source server where i'm sending files to Target FTP Location.

Hi, I am very confusing that you opened the client 195.190.156.52 8021 but you get reply from 195.229.97.34, I want to confirm 195.229.97.34 is your gateway? Also 172.29.84.16 and 195.229.97.52 seems are in difference subnet, try to ping from 172.29.84.16 to 195.229.97.52. At last you should check the client of 195.229.97.52 give you full permissions.

Hi, Client of 195.229.97.52 given full permissions. Could u advice why below error occurs while transfer the file to ftp server ?. ftp:> put "C:\testuasc.txt" "test.txt" 421 Timed out after 100 seconds *** glibc detected *** eftpd: free<>: invalid pointer: 0x0963e0c0 *** Connection Closed by remote host

Hi, Do you FTP client has some options like "Deny hidden", if it has, please uncheck that and try it again. Anyway, these problems are often caused by the FTP program. I suggest that you would better to ask help for your FTP developer.

Hi, Thanks for the message and we are not using third party lib files and we are using only windows basic FTP commands. Please advice.
