Issue
There is a strange problem with Netbeans. I'm trying to create new project with remote resources but when I enter all FTP and project information, Netbeans says
No files available for download. Try to check Passive mode in the remote configuration
Although I tried the passive mode, it isn't the problem. There are many folders and files and I can see them via FTP client or I can create the project with same method on another Netbeans which is running another computer.
Both of them has Netbeans 7.0, both of them running Windows 7 and both of them using same internet connection!
There are no firewall or similar protection by the way.
Solution
For Netbeans 7.3, with Windows 7, using JDK 7
Open CMD as Administrator and run the following:
netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFTP disable
To open CMD as Administrator in Windows 7:
- Select Start
- In the "Search programs and files" box
- Enter "CMD"
- Find the result above and right click on it
- Select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu
I found this after some digging via Mansiemans shared link. Some of the commands on that thread, did not work, so I am sharing the one that did work.
