Travel Technology - Does STSN (Marriott broadband) block FTP ports?View Full Version : Does STSN (Marriott broadband) block FTP ports? UALOneKPlus Oct 8, 03, 8:48 pm I've been trying to establish a FTP connection to a FTP site, and can not get connected at all. I was able to connect from home earlier today... ------------------ "If life doesn't offer a game worth playing, then invent a new one." -Anthony J. D'Angelo UALOneKPlus Oct 8, 03, 9:13 pm I think I've figured out that STSN blocks Port 21... so no FTP http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/frown.gif ------------------ "If life doesn't offer a game worth playing, then invent a new one." -Anthony J. D'Angelo NickP 1K Oct 8, 03, 9:21 pm Uhhhh, this worked for me 2 months ago (as we run FTP for some internal file xfer services).... Did you call their support and did they confirm they now block FTP?

What FTP software do you use to connect? I doubt that makes a difference, but want to check... They also might have recently blocked the port due to the MBlaster worm threat that surfaced recently as well... ------------------ "If life doesn't offer a game worth playing, then invent a new one." -Anthony J.

ClueByFour Oct 8, 03, 11:41 pm They do allow ssh, as of about 5 weeks ago. The other thing you might try is PASV mode in FTP. I've run into some Stupid Hotel Proxies (tm) that require it. ------------------ Don't feed the trolls. NickP 1K Oct 8, 03, 11:47 pm I was using the integrated Windows client.... dmfriedman Oct 13, 03, 12:02 pm For what it's worth, I'm sitting at the Marriott DTC right now using STSN, and I was just able to successfuly connect to several FTP sites using SmartFTP (www.smartftp.com).
