Re: Failed Transfer (Could not Start Transfer)

When FTP servers send multi-line responses, there is a strict syntax it must obey (like with pretty much every FTP command and response).

All lines of the multi-line response, except the last, use a dash separator. The last uses a space as ''closing tag''. Example:

Code:
226-First line
226-Second line
226-Third line
226 Last line


If your log is complete, and you didn't mix up multiple simultaneous connections, then the server started a multi-line response but never finished it. FileZilla expects further lines, then the server sends a different response. This violates and disturbs the challenge-response sequence and causes FileZilla to error out.

But as you can see from the log snippet I code-quoted above, the transfer of the PDF was successful. So, is the file on the server in one piece (size must be the same since it is binary)?
