425 No data connection

I am unable to access an FTP account that l've been using for years. I am ultimately giving the following error:
425 No data connection

I've rebooted my PC. I've deleted the favorite and re-added it. I've had a friend test the FTP site on his computer (same building/network) and he was able to access the FTP server using dreamweavers built in ftp software... any idea what could be causing this?

Hello ..

1. Menu: Favorites->Edit Favorites
2. Locate your favorite (go to the Quick Connect folder)
3. Right-click on your favorite then select Properties from the context menu
4. Go to the FTP->Connection dialog. Then change the Force PASV IP option to Enable
5. Click OK a couple of times

Install the latest version:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

Did you add SmartFTP to the exceptions in your software firewall?

Hello, l've updated to the most recent version (per your link), rebooted and tried again and l'm still getting the same thing:
We do not have any type of firewall taht would be blocking this, besides it's working for some other FTP accounts (on another server). Any other suggestions?

It looks like a network problem (software firewall or antivirus product blocking the data connection) or a problem with the server to me.

Hello,

I wanted to let you know we've been able to access FTP now by uninstalling the most recent windows XP security update, and by changing the FTP module on our server from PureFTP to ProFTP. Seems to be a conflict ion between the two for some reason or another.

I just thought l'd let you know incase anyone else runs into this problem.

Thanks, I had the same problem. It’s working now. Would’ve never thought of it…
