FTP is NOT working!

I have having a problem getting some files uploaded on ftp. Seems like half the files or more give a 500? error. Plus the thing is really slow and timing out a lot.  Just wanted to let you know. (And please fix it!)

FTP works for me right now. If you are behind a firewall or on a network, make sure you enabled "Passive mode" (also called PASV) in your FTP client.

500 server errors are often caused by invalid .htaccess files.

Edit: Two mistakes. Wow. I must really be tired.

I'm not getting a 500 server errors when looking at the files.. It's giving me that error when I upload to ftp. The ftp server is returning 500 and 550 errors to dreamweaver.

I am on a new wireless router since the last time I tried it. Maybe passive mode needs to be on. I'll give it a try and let you know what happens.

Thanks

Thanks webzone, that was it... Needed to make it passive ftp.
