How to Access the Archived Versons?

Post by kla87 » 2017-11-23, 13:27

I cannot get this page to open:
ftp://archive:get@ftp2.palemoon.org/Pale_Moon/

Tried several browsers. What am I doing wrong?

Clicked on your link and it opened for me in less than a second of time. Renders properly too. Have you tried clearing your cookies and emptying your cache and then trying again?

BTW, I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon (27.6.1).
MX Linux 25.1 (Infinity) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox
Linux Debian 13.3 (Trixie) Xfce w/Pale Moon, Waterfox, Firefox

The OP's link works fine for me using 32-bit Pale Moon 27.6.1 on 64-bit Windows 7. :thumbup:

If you have tried multiple browsers then perhaps you have a network problem.... :think:

What exactly happens when you attempt to load that linked page using various browsers? :?

You could try the simplest approach and reboot your computer and if the issue persists at that point then try resetting your network... Do you use a wireless connection?

The 425 in that string is an FTP error code and "Can't open data connection" is the error message. It could be refering to ports being blocked, or not opening successfully.

Sounds like your firewall is causing issues.
You need to allow outbound connections to high ports for passive FTP connections (a browser uses passive mode) to work.
