Are you on GameCreate Client 5.2.0? Click Downloads on the left if you are not.

Be sure you are using a valid username/password to login and that you have permission on at least one server on that host.

Are you in Basic FTP Mode (See Domain FTP Admin tab).

Try that first.

If you are in Advanced Mode, you need at least one Permit rule to be able to login to the host.

Well WS_FTP Pro says it is in passive mode by default so I dont know why it is not when I use it with GC

Also it does not work when I use IE either? is the only prot I need open 2121 or do I need more?

[Andrew]

You must not be in passive mode as per the error message you get

Double check, see if there are connection options you may be missing - its definitely not enabled as per the error.

You should be able to get it working via IE yes.

Even Windows Explorer will do this, just type ftp://ip:2121/ and it will prompt you for login details.

Authentication may time out (after 15 seconds or so of waiting) if it takes too long for the host to authenticate your login, at which case you will just be asked to login again in IE/Windows Explorer, but an FTP client (recommended) would say 'Sorry, authentication timed out'.

I suggest using WS FTP to try and getting it working first.

I had a quick look on the WS_FTP website and found this article in regards to turning on passive mode: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/WS-20001020-DM01.htm
