I use FileZilla to transfer my images to my hosting server.

This error appears all the time

Status: Starting upload of M:\LMG Jewellery\Images to upload\Lot 5 images\PJSMGSNK1455WL20.PT03.jpg Status: Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead. Status: Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead. Command: STOR PJSMGSNK1455WL20.PT02.jpg Error: Critical file transfer error

Can someone please help me?

    Post a full verbose log file. + Does any other FTP client work? – This looks like a firewall or NAT problem. Where are you connecting from? Can you connect to any FTP server at all? What exactly is the "hosting server"? Is it a physical or virtual server? Or just a web hosting?

"Server sent passive reply with unroutable address." means that the server is responding with an address that your computer can't hit. Usually, this means that the server is behind a NAT, and is responding with a private IP.

Your server needs to be configured to present its external IP address to clients, and have the appropriate ports forwarded.

There's another question along these lines here, but I wouldn't call it a direct duplicate. The method used to set the external IP varies per FTP server.
