Sending an FTP command from one web server to another?

[Tim Selander]

Hi again Matthias,

I remembered I was given an ftp account on a colleague's server 
awhile back -- tried that and got access with both LC server and 
via ssh on sage.on-rev.

So gmoserver.jp is blocking access from sage.on-rev somehow...

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks for your time and input.

Tim

If that also doesn´t work, then i would assume that your server is blocking the incoming connection from on-rev. If that works, then  livecode server seems to have a problem with ftp outgoing connections.

I want one of my scripts on on-rev.com <http://on-rev.com/> <http://on-rev.com/ <http://on-rev.com/>> to get the directory listing of the mp3 files on the new host. The ftp command from LC tutorials works fine from LC desktop (Community edition, Mac) to get the filelist:
