FileZilla FTP "Failed to retrieve directory listing" Error. Print

  • 0

When I use FileZilla to connect to my FTP I get an error like this:

============================

Response: 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
Command: LIST
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

============================

If you have a similar problem with Filezilla, and the problem persists even when the Windows Firewall is disabled, here is what you need to do:

Open Filezilla, go to Edit -> Settings
Click on Connection -> FTP: Choose Active
Click on Connection -> FTP -> Active Mode: Select "Ask your operating system for the external IP address"
Click on Connection -> FTP -> Passive Mode: Choose Fall Back to Active Mode
Press OK.

Try connecting to your FTP account once again.
