I have Win XP running under Parallels 5 My FTP client (Filezilla) can connect no problem when I run it from native OSX but when I try to connect to the same server from under Win XP it gets stuck when it tries to get a directory listing. This is what I get.. COMMAND:> PORT 10,211,55,5,8,83 200 PORT command successful. COMMAND:> LIST 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. ERROR:> Socket error: WSAETIMEDOUT - Connection timed out. Try using PASV mode (View | Options | Connection) if you receive this error during a LIST, MLSD, or NLST commands. (10060) STATUS:> Error sending command "LIST". Reconnecting (send attempt 2)... I have tried other FTP clients and they all have the same issue. Have also tried both Active & Passive. Any ideas why it will not connect when running from XP ? thanks
Hi, Paralels Shared Networking really doesn't allow Active FTP. I'd appreciate if you could post here the logs while Passive FTP mode
here you go... COMMAND:> PWD 257 "/" is current directory. COMMAND:> CWD / 250 CWD command successful. COMMAND:> TYPE A 200 Type set to A. COMMAND:> PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (122,128,106,105,196,240). COMMAND:> LIST 425 Can't open data connection. STATUS:> Successful reconnect. Attempting to resend failed command. COMMAND:> PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (122,128,106,105,196,241). COMMAND:> LIST 425 Can't open data connection. STATUS:> Successful reconnect. Attempting to resend failed command. COMMAND:> PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (122,128,106,105,196,242). COMMAND:> LIST 425 Can't open data connection. STATUS:> Successful reconnect. Attempting to resend failed command.

Do you have firewall installed on the Mac OS side? If so, may be you need to allow all access for the process prl_naptd. This process provides Shared Networking functionality.
nope firewall is set to off I can run the FTP client from OSX and it connects with no problem. It only has problems when I try to run it from WinXP under Parallels.
Sorry, I don't quite understand, you do have firewall installed, but it is turned off? Please note: I mean that process "prl_naptd" should be added to allow pass through firewall. If this process is somehow limited from accessing networking, Parallels Shared networking may behave the way you described.
I don't have any 3rd party firewall installed. The built in firewall in OSX is turned OFF. (Preferences->Security->Firewall)
So should I conclude that FTP does not work under Parallels. If so is there a way I can use my FTP client under OSX but access the c: drive from the WinXP running under parallels ? Essentially I use the virtual OS for Web Development and need to upload files to the host. Any ideas ?
It should. I can suggest a remote WebEx session. I'm available any working day 9AM-18PM GMT. Today also works (within nearest 2 hours). Please send me a private message with your email and acceptable time-frame if you are ready for the session. PS: What about accessing Windows-disk from Mac OS: there is a way to do so, but I can post how exactly it is can be done only some time later
The disk is already available in the /Volume/C path. To show it on the desktop, do the next: click Finder icon (the Mac OS one!) -> menu Finder -> Preferences and enable under "Show these items on the desktop" the "Connected servers" option.
Gary, Take a look into your private messages. (By default notifications about private-messages are disabled)
Same Issue I use iSpring PRO to FTP powerpoint->flash conversions to my server. If I am in shared networking, I cannot FTP. If I switch to bridged networking, I can FTP but then I cannot FTP on the MAC side. It is a real pain to switch back and forth. Is there any solution? Can I use shared networking if in fact I can switch the ftp mode to passive?
