FTP in Terminal giving odd error message.

Hi,

Code:

ftp> ftp members.swiftdsl.com.au Connected to members.swiftdsl.com.au. 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd 1.0.14 ---------- 220-You are user number 3 of 50 allowed. 220-Local time is now 20:08 and the load is 0.36. Server port: 21. 220-This is a private system - No anonymous login 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity. Name (members.swiftdsl.com.au:silas_pc): silas_pc 331 User silas_pc OK. Password required Password: 230-User silas_pc has group access to: dslweb 230 OK. Current restricted directory is / Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 229 Extended Passive mode OK (|||6285|) 500 I won't open a connection to 218.214.20.54 (only to 202.154.92.60) 200 PORT command successful 150 Connecting to port 33500

Thats like the Terminal from when I try to connect to my webspace using the terminal....

can anyone tell me what "I won't open a connection to [my ip address] (only to [some weird ip]) means. Any way I can fix it?

the [weird ip] is members.swiftdsl.com.au. if you try "ping members.swiftdsl.com.au", you'll see it when its resolved. as for a fix, i'm not sure. do you have any kind of firewall up? ipfw maybe? brickhouse? or maybe from the sharing pref in sysprefs?

No... the problaem was my ISP is a bunch of sucky sucks who change their DNS addresses, ftp addresses every month....

At any rate, do yourself a favour and install a decent command-line ftp client like lftp (it compiles cleanly on 10.3, and is also on fink). It won't fix your problem, but it's a much nicer client.
