229 Entering Extended Passive Mode

Entering Extended Passive Mode. The server provides only a port number for the data connection, using the same IP as the control connection. Works with both IPv4 and IPv6.

When You See This Code

After issuing the EPSV command. The server responds with a port number in the format (|||port|) for the client to connect to.

How to Fix

No fix needed — connect to the server's control IP on the provided port. If it fails, try falling back to PASV (227) or check firewall rules.
