I'm relatively new to FTP. My friend and I are attempting to collaborate on a project. He has created an FTP server but, when I connect through the Atom editor's "Remote FTP" package, I'm given the error unable to parse PASV server response
. Upon further research, this error doesn't seem to be an error specific to Atom but a broader error defined by the FTP protocol. I also couldn't connect through WinSCP and, after switching to FileZilla, was able to get FTP working. I would rather have Atom's FTP package work for convenience. Could someone explain the meaning of the error and what can be done to fix it?
I receive this error in WinSCP:
Timeout detected. (control connection) Could not retrieve directory listing Error listing directory '/'.
My friend's server is actually a router running Advanced Tomato. There is an external storage device plugged into the USB port where all the files are located.
Thank you.
