I've been using edtFTPnet for a while with great results. Then, after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, I can no longer create an FTPClient without getting this error:

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(EndPoint remoteEP)
at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPControlSocket.Initialize(IPAddress remoteAddr, Int32 controlPort, StreamWriter log, Int32 timeout) in C:\Product Projects\edtFTPnet 1.0.1\FTPControlSocket.cs:line 202
at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPControlSocket..ctor(String remoteHost, Int32 controlPort, StreamWriter log, Int32 timeout) in C:\Product Projects\edtFTPnet 1.0.1\FTPControlSocket.cs:line 152
at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPClient..ctor(String remoteHost) in c:\product projects\edtftpnet 1.0.1\ftpclient.cs:line 234
...


As you can see in the error, I've upgraded to 1.0.1 to see if this would help.

Oh, and I verified that the FTP site is working, my personal firewall is disabled, command line FTP works and IE FTP works.

Thanks for any help

This seems to be a frequent problem with XP users - not just for FTP but all types of socket operations. An MS bug?

The error is WSAECONNABORTED (10053) Software caused connection abort.

From the Microsoft reference:

Answer/Solution: A connection abort was caused internal to your host machine. The software caused a connection abort because there is no space on the socket's queue and the socket cannot receive further connections.

WinSock description: The error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection. This would occur if WinSock aborts an established connection after data retransmission fails (receiver never acknowledges data sent on a datastream socket).

TCP/IP scenario: A connection will timeout if the local system doesn't receive an (ACK)nowledgement for data sent. It would also timeout if a (FIN)ish TCP packet is not ACK'd (and even if the FIN is ACK'd, it will eventually timeout if a FIN is not returned).

Not much help I'm afraid. One suggestion we've seen is to use the IP address rather than the hostname.

OK, should have guessed, but even my IT guys are having this kind of trouble and they haven't found this yet. Seems we got an upgrade to McAfee recently. Did I just hear you groan? Yeah, they added a great feature: Port Blocking! On port 21, no less (both inbound and outbound). And, my company doesn't trust us to allow us to turn it off manually, so I haven't been able to verify it. But, I did find a beautiful log file that has several entries in it, even documenting when I tried to FTP and from what application!

Sorry to take your time. I'll let you know if removing this doesn't fix my problem.
