ftp command failure

[eduac]

people,

i try to use the (dir,ls) ftp command, but appears the follow error:


ftp> ls
500 Illegal PORT Command
ftp: bind: Address already in use
ftp> dir
500 Illegal PORT Command


what s the problem?

when you are at the

ftp>

prompt, you need to call the open command and then to whereever you want to go, like

ftp> open 192.168.0.20 // or whatever ip/web address you have

you will get a different prompt where you can then use ls, etc....
