Yesterday, we have just talked about how to connect FTP with Web Browser. In this tutorial, I will show you the error message that sometimes shown when we connect with Filezilla. This in a common error message that you will find on Filezilla:Failed to retrieve directory listing.Here is the image:As the image shows, the connection enters Passive (PASV) Mode and after that, the error occurs. A solution that could work, is to disable passive mode. Here’s how you do that in FileZilla:- Open Filezilla, go to Edit -> Settings- Click on Connection -> FTP: Choose Active- Click on Connection -> FTP -> Active Mode: Select "Ask your operating system for the external IP address”- Click on Connection -> FTP -> Passive Mode: Choose Fall Back to Active Mode- Press OK.Hope it helps. Good luck
