Re: ftp timeout issueSounds like a firewall problem. Try setting your FTP client to use "passive" connection mode, this will let the client pick the port not the server.

Our firewall is not on site, it is a phone company solution, so I cannot bypass it other than going home and checking which I did. I spoke with the firewall support team and they say there is nothing being blocked into our network if it has been initiated from within the network. ItÂ’s crazy because I can get Core FTP Lite to work but other users cannot.

Second you did verify that both port 20 and 21 are allowed. Third if it did work in the past what changed? That should be a start.

My personal issue is with Dreamweaver, it just never uploads files, it used to work. I have to use core ftp lite which is the only solution that consistently works for me, however other users cannot connect to the same ftp site with the same software. We have a firewall that is standard setup, disallow all incoming except replies to connections initiated on the inside of the firewall. I cannot think of anything else that would cause this issue. I don't know if this is the best forum to post this issue but I thought to give it a try. Any and all suggestions are appreciated to what I can look into to fix this.
