Hi Peter,

if I try smartftp I get the following:

[06:53:11] SmartFTP v2.5.1008.37
[06:53:11] Resolving host name "192.1.1.2"
[06:53:11] Connecting to 192.1.1.2 Port: 21
[06:53:11] Connected to 192.1.1.2.
[06:55:11] Timeout (120s).
[06:55:11] Active Help: http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/74
[06:55:11] Client closed the connection.
[06:55:11] Cannot login waiting to retry (5s)..

and filezilla something similar:

Status: Connecting to 192.1.1.2:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...

so seems to be timing out.

Something I have noticed - but not sure is relevant - is when either are attempting to login, another tivoftpd process starts.
