well thats the thing...i tried running the server on another pc without router and without a firewall installed and yet it still says its locked up.

i didnt think it was possible...just trying to verify what the guy from that link said and try to figure out my problem.

Go to this page:

https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

and click on "Probe My Port" button. If it says your port 21 is blocked and according to what you described above about your server, it must be that your ISP blocked it.

Fortunately, you can use other port different from 21 for your ftp server.

to test it. Open a ftp session to 127.0.0.1 i.e. ftp://127.0.0.1/

from the ftp server. That will tell you if the server is accepting connections on that port. Shoot click on that link with your ftp server to test it out. Then test a machine on your local lan. ftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX X's being the ip of the server. Then take one step back if that works and test from the outside of your firewall, if you cant test yourself goto that grc link.

I don't think it's your ISP. It could be a bug on your box, or some other program that has it locked up. Have you tried running netstat?

I doubt an ISP would block your port 21 (even if they could). One reason for this is that you could change your FTP port number. Port 21 doesn't have to be used. I use port 4660. At any rate, give us your system specs.

I have a couple of ideas on why it's blocked.

Peace

    • So the 16 GB minimum memory requirement isn't to be taken seriously? The WU installer evidently took it seriously, at least in my case. https://www.techpowerup.com/31...lot-and-windows-ai-features

    • Switch to another OS if you're into tinfoil hat mentality, or just uninstall the app. Oh, wait, even after uninstalling it, can Microsoft still be looking at everything? We'll never know, so, yeah, that's that. If you use Windows, you need to live with those options.
    • Minecraft Chase the Skies update and Vibrant Visuals graphics overhaul lands next week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The second major game update of the year for Minecraft is almost here. Mojang today announced that its next Game Drop, Chase the Skies, is landing on June 17. Alongside it, the highly anticipated graphics overhaul, dubbed Vibrant Visuals, will be available too, making the day a rather big occasion for Minecraft fans. The Chase the Skies update has a large number of gameplay features and content, but one of the biggest is the expansion of the Ghast. Now, players will be able to find Happy Ghasts as a tameable mob, letting up to five players ride them on journeys across the skies. To get one, players will have to find small, dehydrated Ghasts near fossil structures in the Nether, then bring it to the overworld and feed it plenty of water. It is also possible to craft dried Ghasts from Nether materials. Other features of this update include a handy player locator bar, better leads functionality, craftable saddles, a new music disc, and more. As for the Vibrant Visuals upgrade, Mojang is touting a visual refresh that lets players witness how lights and shadows affect the Minecraft world. "Fly high with your happy ghast to watch the sunrise reflect on the rippling ocean, make art with shifting shadows, descend into dark depths, or simply sit back and enjoy the vivid beauty of each biome," says the studio. "With updated in-game visuals you’ll see how light and shadow transform the Overworld – water reflects, forests become shaded, fog drifts, and waterfalls glimmer in the light." The currently supported devices for Vibrant Visuals include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, as well as Android (Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher) and iOS (A12 or M1 or higher.)   Unfortunately, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade will only be available on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, at least for now. Mojang has said that it plans to bring the visual overhaul to the Java Edition of Minecraft at a later date, but no information or release window has been announced just yet.
