Im in a situation where my servers cant use PASV. So I uncheck the option on the Sitemanager screen.
I have 2 homepages and want to send some files from one site to the other. I make sure that each site dont use PASV mode.
But when I try to send a file from "Site to site" It goes into PASV mode. Do any of you have a clue as to why Core FTP Lite sets the "Site to site" sessions to PASV and if there is an option which can set "Site to site" transfer to not use the PASV command?
Here is the messagelog:

Thanks for your help.
PASV mode between 2 sites.
Freig,
The PASV command is only being issued to prepare the destination server for receiving of a file. In other words, when a site-to-site transfer occurs, all that is happening is one server is transferring a file to another. The only way this can happen is for one server to receive the file via the PASV command and the other server send via the PORT command. If it doesn't work one way, you can try switching the servers vice versa and maybe they will allow site-to-site transfers the other way (try connecting the servers on opposite sides and try again).
I haven't done many site-to-site transfers recently because more and more servers are disallowing it as an option (for security reasons not allowing the PORT command) or can't do it because they are behind a firewall. This might be why you are seeing the timeouts.
