Topic: Ftp Issues with ImageSalsa

[PSJohn]

I'm receiving a 500 error and can't figure out how to get around it. I have tried portforwarding port 21 and can't get it to work.

Any ideas?

I've attached a screen shot below.

If you go to a command prompt: Start/Run/Cmd.exe and run ftp.exe, does it work OK?  That will help explain if it is a port issue.

If you haven't used ftp.exe before, you will need to run:
cd -- to change to a directory where a test image resides (i.e. if you have an image in c:\program files\imagesalsa\images, type 'cd "c:\program files\imagesalsa\images" ') -- no single quotes, just the double quotes since there is a space in program files
ftp www.desertweather.com
[your username]
[your password]
cd -- to change to a directory (i.e. 'cd html' or 'cd images')
ls -- to list the directory contents
put localfilename -- to put a file named localfilename to the current directory on the server
bye -- to exit

Didn't work, got the same error: "I won't open a connection to 192.168.1.101 (only to  66.74.54.148)

I have disabled my software firewall. Tried port forwarding port 21 in my router (but doesn't passive FTP randomize ports? I tried unchecking passive anyways and it still didn't work)

Any other ideas?

How about a few more details.  Describe what you are trying to do.

Where is your ImageSalsa machine relative to your ftp server?  Same network or on a remote network?

If you have tried to use command-line ftp to connect from your ImageSalsa machine to your ftp server, and it did not work, then you are probably not looking at a problem with ImageSalsa.

ImageSalsa is on my local machine behind a router and I'm trying to FTP to my webhost. I'm trying to use Imagesalsa's FTP Push feature to upload an image.

After the help by DataCruchTech I do realize that this is not ImageSalsa's fault.
