Our home FTTN service has been failing to provide us with a DSL connection for some time, but our Arcadyn LH1000 modem from Telstra has dutifully switched from green-light to blue-light mode. It's slower, but it's functional. Mostly.
Slower I can handle, but unfortunately I can no longer use FTP, which is critical for my work.
I've tested with multiple FTP clients and had similar results. Some info from GoodSync:
092750 FTP: Server rejected UTF-8 that it promised us: Unknown command
092750 FTP: MLSD is broken, so turn it off: PASV says: 229: Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||33253|)
092750 listing folder with LIST: PASV says: 229: Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||31040|)
092750 Cannot upload log file: PASV says: 229: Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||33346|)
...and from CuteFTP:
COMMAND
PASV
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||31163|)
ERROR Failed to establish data socket.
There have been no hardware or configuration changes in the timeframe.
I've also had a work colleague assist me with testing this. He's also a Telstra customer with the same modem at his home office and running Goodsync with the same settings as I am (i.e. to the same server, for the same purpose.)
His FTP connection works fine when the modem is in green-light FTTN DSL mode, and fails in the same way as mine does when it fails-over into blue-light mobile connection mode.
I'd like to be able to report that Telstra is going to shortly repair the issue that is requiring me to be in fail-over mode, and thus make the whole problem moot... but it's been weeks now, and navigating Telstra tech support has thus far not resulted in any tangible progress.
In the meantime - anyone got a workaround? We can't be the only people having this issue, right?
