AndyD Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Yes, it's called FXP. Both servers must allow PASV connections for this to work. If you can not connect to both with PASV mode, FXP will either not work or the transfer will be corrupted (file size will not be the same on the side you're transferring to).

MxxCon Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 it is called FXP(file exchange protocol). but AndyD is incorrect. it doesn't matter if both servers allow pasv, as long as one server allow PASV connection, and other server allow PORT connection. doesn't matter which side does PASV or PORT, as long as one is pasv and other one is port. FlashFXP is the best one of many such clients that support FXP transfers..which is one of it's major features :) just connect to site a on one side, site b on the other side, and drag file between them. if both servers are configured correctly, and nothing is interfering with ftp on your end, you will have no problem to fxp.

Jon Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 *nod* I agree with MxxCon, drag + drop on most clients, and how the connection is negotiated is irrelevent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 well, it's relevant when you are trying to troubleshoot problem when trying to fxp.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted July 21, 2003 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 21, 2003 MxxCon is to be trusted on this, as his thoughts on this matter came to him in a 'flash'. Not doing a bit of advertising there are yer m8 :) Its a great program BTW. Have you mentioned about having your name in lights within the program :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 yes...you can do server to server transfers...just find a client that supports it...WsFTP Pro works...there are many others.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liar2 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Ahh yes. FXPing is a wonderful thing. FlashFXP has to be the best client for doing it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Well, I only said what I said because of my own experiences. I ran into all sort of probs if either end was not a PASV connection. If it works for others, then great :) It didnt for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Well, I only said what I said because of my own experiences. I ran into all sort of probs if either end was not a PASV connection. If it works for others, then great :) It didnt for me though. you are probably talking about general connection method..PORT or PASV however with fxp one side must support pasv and the other must support port. check out this very good explanation of how regular FTP PASV/PORT works http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html with FXP, you tell one server PASV, to which it replies with ip and port at which it will expect connection and you tell the other server PORT with ip and port of the 1st server. then they establish connection and transfer data.. so as you can imagine it's impossible to fxp if you send PASV to both servers since both servers will be expecting connection, and it's impossible to fxp if you send PORT to both servers since both servers will be trying to connect to each other, when the other side doesn't expect it.
