if i am getting that mess of crap what do i need to do to stop the list error from happening?

we are both behind routers, but passive and active settings have been selected but to no avail. I really dont know how to make it work, (only when behind a router, and someone else behind a router attempts to connect to me).

I have an airlink 101 stupid wireless router, and apparently i cant figure out how to port forward. DMZ did not work as well.

Til you figure that out, it ain't gonna work.

ftp works like this:

- there's always 2 connections (one for commands, one for data); passive/active mode really just specifies who hosts the data connection (or who must be 'serving' the data connection) (the server always hosts the command-connection [port21])

- passive: once you connect to the ftp server, if you specify pasv mode, the server opens up another port on its side, & tells you what that port is. you then connect to it. in other words, the server is serving the (data) connection

- active: once you connect to the ftp server, if you issue the port command (specifying a specific port), you're in active mode meaning that you are going to host/serve the data connection & the server connects to you (from its port 20). you are serving the (data) connection.

based on your log, you're in active mode. this means that the server (server's ftp data port is 20 [cmd port is 21]) must be able to connect to you on port 3884 (15*256+44). if you don't have port forwarding set up on your router to forward that port to you, it ain't gonna work. pasv mode is the best if you are behind a firewall/router because all the connections you're involved with, 'you' are connecting to 'them' instead of the other way around. and if you're in active mode & you got your firewall blocking incoming connections, that prohibits correct operation also.

That just shows you that the problem is not on your side as I was able to successfully connect & download.

well are you behind a router?

i have no problems with people that arent behind a router. its the people that are behind routers that cant connect to me
