Default false flashfxp ftp PORT command logs

hi !

I'm trying to connect in port mode from flashfxp to a ftp server, and can't get a dir list, i'm behind a router but i've forwarded a port range and set flashfxp to that same port range, in flashfxp log the PORT command is correct right ip (mine) and port number (within the range i specified), but on the server side the PORT command as the wrong port number (not in my specified port range), i finally did a tcpdump on my router to find out that flashfxp was not using the port in the logs (the right port) but was sending a wrong port to the ftp server.


So we can answer your question more precisely, from now on any question must come the following these info:

* Running Antivirus [ ] Yes, Name [ ] or [x ] No
* Network [x ] xDSL, [ ] CABLE, [ ] Dail-Up, [ ] Other

additional info if related

* any other info
i've set FlashFXP->Options->preferences-> Proxy / Firewall /Indent->Firewall
Limit local port range to 1501-1520
Bind socket to this address to my.dyndns.org (it resolve to my wan ip correctly)

that other ftp server is connected directly to a cable modem (no router)

if you need the complete tcpdump, contact me, i'll sent it to you, without the password

Default

it appears that your linux router is applying NAPT(network address port translation) on ftp commands.
look into your ipchains config to change/disable this behavior
