FTP

425 Can't Open Data Connection

Can't open data connection. The server was unable to establish the data channel needed for the file transfer.

When You See This Code

When a firewall or NAT is blocking the data connection, or the client failed to connect to the server's passive port.

How to Fix

Switch between active (PORT) and passive (PASV) modes. Check that your firewall allows the FTP data port range and that NAT is configured correctly.
