does anyone have any thoughts ?

Make sure that you're terminating the commands with a CRLF sequence. FTP (and most application protocols like POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, etc.) expect that the commands that you send end with a carriage-return and linfeed, that's how the server knows the command is complete.

thank you mike i actually figured that out recently. but it seems i have run into another issue. i aim trying to make my program send data to the server based on the servers response, but i keep running into issues, it seems when i attempt to log into the server my Pass password command is not be sent. but my user command is. maybe u would like to take a look at my code. if so pm me please
