Hi to all!
I'm trying to develop a FTP client in Flex/Air with socket (...whatelse 
!?!?)
I can connect to the FTP server and authenticate. Then I switch to passive mode sending the "PASV" ftp command.
In response i receive the data port on which I will (...well...actually....on which I would like to....
) transfer the files. And here comew the trouble.
I create a new socket wich attempts to connect on the port the server told me, it stands still for some moments and give me the socket error #2031.
Below the complete error (URL's IP replaced with 'xx.xx.xx.xx'):
[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2031: Socket Error URL: xx.xx.xx.xx" errorID=2031]
I've tried to google around but i didn't find anything useful more than Adobe Flex Socket reference (which doesn't even talk about #2031 error 
)
I've also tried to perform FTP task with the maliboo FTP lib but it behaves the same as mentioned before.
Any ideas,suggestions or solutions?
Thanks in advance guys for the attention!
Best regards!
Luca

Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the problem . I've also opened several ticket with my hosting company, let them change the ftp server software (switched between pureFTP and proFTPd) but no way!
One thing that I've noticed is that things started to getting worse when the hosting switched from a dedicated ip system to a shared ip system. While I was setting up the ftp application I tried to connect to another hosting provider that use shared ip system an it crashes as well.
My problem stands when I try to switch to passive mode, it stands still for a while and it crashes with the nice socket error #2031 ( very well documented ... 
... just kidding).
In the meanwhile I find the solution I continue banging my head on the desk!!
Hope to find out a solution!
Best regards!
well i am trying to use wireshark to see what TCP/IP packets are being sent and
what all is happening. I would recommend the same to you as well. Sleepless nights ahead . I have also asked my seniors who have developed flex.
