FTP won't work correctly ;-/

[LeoLinux]

Hi there,

I want to access my FTP but it only works with the microsoft internet explorer ?! when I do the same with filezilla or other ftp programmes I wont get a tree of my files and file zilla gives me an error message:

what's the matter?

What's the matter with it? When I use Microsofts Internet Exploerer then everything seems to be ok, every web is reachable and and adn.. but the totaly opposit seems to be with firefox filezilla and other ftp programmes ... I don't know ...

thanks for helping.

best regards Leander

Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client? Did you try with the firewall on and off?

Hi Falko,

it was the active passive mode ... :-) thx !

do you know how to change that in the proftpd.conf, so that I don't have to worry about anymore? because I don't want to describe that to everybody wich wants to connect to the server?!
that would be great, thx !

The problem is not in the proftpd.conf, the problem is either your router or firewall that blocks the upper FTP ports.

Hi,

but I told my M0n0wall to forward port 21 - and nmap is also telling me that it works fine .... what's the matter?

Please double check that you forwarded the port to the correct server IP if you are in a NAT enviroment.

[LeoLinux]

Ok - it really was a firewall problem - I reinstalled m0n0wall and reconfigured the NAT settings and voilà it worked out fine ;-)

Thanks a lot ;-)
