Re: ftp problem
I don't think it is timing out, the response happens in 56 ms - "command unrecognized" - which is pretty clear.

Re: ftp problem
The OP says it works at home pushing to the same FTP server, even with the lack of FEAT. So I thought it may have been timing out when using the basic FTP commands when at the second location. If it works at home but not at the second location on identical hardware then surely it's something environmental like connection speed?

Re: ftp problem
True, without the FEAT working the FTP client will use much slower mechanisms to pulling file information from the server - which was what was causing issues in the previous version of the FTP client for some users, it was defaulting to the slow methods when it shouldn't have (the FEAT response was not registered correctly).
But yes, given the same FTP server works at one location and not another does indicate the network at the sailing club. There is more to consider than just speed, round-trip times, what proxies/caching servers the ISP uses, QoS for different protocols etc.

Re: ftp problem
Looking at the logs again, it would have been nice to see the initial logon try and perform a file upload.
The other log shows the FTP client is using the NLST command to determine if a file exists, this is really slow command on some servers and it likely that which is timing out.
I'd be on to the FTP server admins and asking why it is not supporting the FEAT command.

Re: ftp problem
How are you ftping to the server, by domain name or IP?
If it's domain name then perhaps using a different DNS server on your clients IP may help.
I know Virgin medias DNS servers can be slow at times.
I use cloudfares, Google or Quad9 servers
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
9.9.9.9
149.112.112.112

Re: ftp problem
Hi all thanks for your comments, given me several lines to pursue, Ionos have confirmed they do not support FEAT

Re: ftp problem
then perhaps try using php uploads then. That's if Ionos allow that feature set also...
