passive ftp problems
Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 12:24 pm
Hi,
I would like to run an FTP server on my Gentoox Pro 4.1, but I have problems when I try to connect to the server from outside (not from my home LAN). I tried both proftpd and pure-ftpd but the symptoms are the same - my ftp client connects to the server but after issuing the PASV command a timeout error occurs. If I connect to the XBox from the home LAN, everything works properly as it should. Port forwarding is set up properly on my DSL router as I have another FTP server running on a PC in passive mode and it works fine, and I followed the same guidelines for the XBox. I want the FTP server to run on port 2121, and the passive port range is 34000-34005 (only I will use the server). All of these ports are forwarded to the IP of my XBox, and the .conf files are configured properly. I am not really familiar with IPTABLES, maybe the solution is somewhere there. Any advice?
Thanks
Peter
