I am having difficulties making an FTP connection through FinalBuilder 7.0.0.787 using the FTP Connect action. It is trying to connect to a FileZilla FTP Server (configured with default settings and a single user with proper access). What happens is FTP Connect will hang it will send (HOST, USER, PASS, FEAT,... hang... QUIT). This happens atleast 90% of the time, the other 10% of the time I can connect. I also attempted this with a WS\_FTP FTP Server however, it wouldn't get past the AUTH command. I know the credentials I am using are correct. I try it in FileZilla FTP Client and am able to connect perfectly from the same server. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
I downloaded the FileZilla FTP Server and set it up on one of our test machines and could connect to it without any problems. Which version of FileZilla were you using? Is it possible that a firewall or IDS maybe interfering with things?

Paul.
