FTP

150 File Status OK

The file status is okay and the server is about to open the data connection for the transfer. This is the normal precursor to a file transfer.

When You See This Code

Right before a file download or upload begins, confirming the file is accessible and the data channel is being opened.

How to Fix

No fix needed — this means the transfer is about to start. If the transfer stalls after this reply, check firewall rules blocking the data connection.
