Other FTP sites on port 21 work as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.


When you use port 21, then the built in ftp-proxy in the gta take cares of the passive connection.


When you connect to a ftp-server on a different port you are on your own.
The passive ftp-server you are connection to will tell you back which port (> 1024) to use for the data connection. You have to allow outgoing traffic from the ftp-client to this port (usually between 49000-65535), depends on how the the passive ftp-server is setup.
