On localhost Connection, Force Active Mode to use Another IP

[Gioggiolo]

Hello all, sorry for my bad english.

I use FlashFXP v3.0.2. I want "Force Active Mode to use this IP (example 111.111.111.111)" when open connection on localhost ip but it don't work. See this image:

While FlashFXP v2.1 work very well:

Is This a v3.0 bug?

Tnx

Is "111.111.111.111" a valid IP address on the local machine? v2.x didn't verify the IP Address but v3.x does.

"111.111.111.111" is a valid WAN IP.

Are you connecting to a LAN based site? You can only use a WAN IP on an internet based site.

[Gioggiolo]

"111.111.111.111" is an ADSL IP connected to
the internet through a router.

So, is impossible to use this configuration in 3.0.2 version. I need this configuration and -savequeue switch :(

It is possible to disable this verification with a HexEditor?

If it is not possible, i must search another solution or another client. :(

I'm rather confused as to why you need to use your external IP address for a local host ftp server? Quite frankly it doesn't make any sense. Most configurations don't allow this and the ones that do usually end up sending data to your isp and back reducing the speed to your isp connection.

If that is not the case can you please explain in detail your situation.

P.S. I don't think that is your problem, as you stated "111.111.111.111" is a valid IP address.

The situation is complicated to be explained with my bad english. I try to explain it. :(

The Server FTP is located on internet but it has not external ip.
Using a software, my External IP becomes also the External IP of this Server FTP.

If i want to connect to this Server FTP, i must to use my Local IP, but the "Data connection" must to be on my External IP.

Now, Do you understand the situation? :o

I was hoping for alittle more information then what you provided, Maybe even listing the exact software you're using.

Using a software, my External IP becomes also the External IP of this Server FTP. If this is the case then you should be able to connect to the ftp server using your external IP address.

I have tried it but it doesnt work.
I think that my router blocks this "loop connection".
