Motorola Modem SBG5680 and FileZilla

[mattboreau]

Hi,
After a several month hiatus, I downloaded the latest version of Filezilla, with plans to use it for FTP. I got an error, and when I run the network connection test, I get the results shown at the bottom of this post. I have disabled my Windows 7 firewall, so all that is left is my Motorola SBG5680 modem, right? Can anyone diagnose what is going on and tell me what I should do to connect? Advice is much appreciated.

What is the error you get when you actually run this from your computer. The test results you posted above look OK.

Jorge,
The message I get from Filezilla is that it times out, like the network test does.
Thanks
Matt

So, your test results in the first post look fine. Ok, so have you verified that the target system "allamericanbird.com" does have FTP services listening and they allow this traffic through their firewall?

to validate whether you client is working properly, try accessing an FTP site that you know for sure works with other FTP client software.
