I rebooted the machine with the FTP server in case it had something wrong. I tried three different FTP clients after that and all connected, listed files and transferred ok.
When you just reported failure again, I went to my Windows machine and installed FTPzilla. That too connected, listed files and transferred ok. 3.229.152.127 is the correct IP address.
When I compare my FTPzilla log to yours, I see these differences. When I start the session, I just specify the server ftp.aavsonet.aavso.org, but do not include the subdirectories aavsonet/dtlb. In the GUI interface, I navigate into them. Since I am using the GUI interface, I simply click and drag the files between the server to my PC panels. I have no need to list the directory contents since I see it in the GUI so there is log entry "command: LIST".
If I do go to the GUI menu Server->Enter custom command and type in LIST, it gives me a connection timeout error after 20 seconds. Having a total of 5 minutes experience with FTPzilla, I am at a loss explain this timeout error. However, perhaps you can just use the GUI as I did and transfer the files?
VPhot delivery of images is still an option. Users download the images from the FTP site if they want to analyze them with other tools instead of, or in addition to VPhot. Also, users may want to save them for their own archival reasons.
Hello,
Can you please give me more information on what data you are trying to download and from where?
Thanks,
Bert Pablo, Staff Astronomer

I'm looking into this.

I have tried something. Can you please try running FTPzilla again.
Cliff
It will be an hour or so until I can get to my computer.
Here is a copy of the log window. Thank you!

that FTPZilla is working fine. He too uses the GUI interface.
I'll give the GUI a try. Not pulling out it's on my end but didn't purposely or actively change anything on my end.
Edited to say I got it. I had to retype in the address and it worked. Not sure what changed but something did.
Thanks for your help!
Hi
Are user's images still being downloaded to the user's VPHOT page?
Do they need to FTP to get them?
