FTP - put - Timeout

Hi,

I am trying to send a backup to my NAS hard drive at home but the FTP continues to fail.

Here is the backup log emailed to me:

Net::FTP>>> Net::FTP(2.77)
Net::FTP>>> Exporter(5.63)
Net::FTP>>> Net::Cmd(2.29)
Net::FTP>>> IO::Socket::INET(1.29)

I manually tried to ftp into the box, and successfully did. But I was unable to ls directory contents:

ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
220 vsFTPd 2.0.7+ (ext.1) ready...

Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls

At 'ls', it just hangs for quite a while before timing out, as shown above.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

Just to add to the discussion, I have tried connecting to the NAS drive via ftp from WAN with success. I think we can safely eliminate my home network from the problem.

OK, I figured out. The NAS drive only accepts connections in active mode. How can I configure the script to switch to active mode?

I'm getting the same line. My backup successfully completes and shows up on my second server (NAS) so I'm not sure anything is really wrong with the transfer but I would like to figure out how to stop the Unexpected EOF.
