Re: [WS_FTP Forum] Possible causes for error 504?

[vguuref02]

I've never used WS_FTP server, but it sounds like you really do have a 
problem with the data port.  FTP is a funny protocol: it first uses port 
21 for chit-chat between the client and server, and then port 20 for the 
actual data transfer.  If you set up the server using the default 
parameters, these two values are probably set, but check anyway.  If 
they are correct, you may have a firewall blocking port 20.  Your 
network administrator should know.

I recently installed WS_FTP Server on a computer in our in-house

Currently, I can connect to the server with any FTP program, but any 
read attempts are generating error 504:
 
Port failed 504 Invalid PORT address
 
I have double and triple checked my permissions,
If I'm not mistaken, on a conventionally configured system incorrect 
permissions should give a 503, not a 504, so that will probably be a 
blind alley.

Good luck.

but I'm not sure what could be causing it.  Any tips on where I should 
be looking would be greatly appreciated.
