Invalid PORT error

[Deus]

Now I am sure this is going to be something real stupid but..

following this guide http://www.hackersquest.org/boards/viewtopic.php?t=276

I reach step 2
wget ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz

and get this

--21:44:46-- ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.2.2.tar.gz
=> `qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz'
Connecting to ftp.trolltech.com:21... connected!

Invalid PORT.
Retrying.

that goes into a never ending loop

It is a clean install of Redhat 7.2
Access to internet is fine
I am a total linux n00b and have nfi

does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it (in laymans terms please)

[a_splitpaw_gnol]

There is a script on page 3 or 4 of this forum that is for installing showeq on redhat 7.2. I did that with a clean install, and it worked perfectly fine. I'd follow that one, cuz the one on hackersquest is alot more confusing than this one. Well for a linux noob anyways :)

[poof there it is]

[fryfrog]

if you still want to use wget, you can put "--passive-ftp" between the "wget" and the <URL> and it will use passive ftp. that is what that error most likely is :)

[casey]

yea, use passive ftp on trolltech's ftp. They've disabled normal access for "security reasons".
