ioFTPD 5.1.14 behind Router...(Problems)

Mavke · 10-18-2003, 06:04 AM

I have setup a new ioFTPD based on beta 5.1.14.
The new thing here is that the FTP is behind a router.

How can I get the Passive Transfer to work?

Internal IP : 192.168.0.1 (only 1 Network Card)
The Router has the external IP : 213.100.*
And the port is set to : 9127

I opened the Port 9127 on the Router.
But still Passive is not working, Active is working but not that good.

With Active I get regularly :
426 Connection closed: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port)
is normally permitted.

Any help?

i saw this message since 5.1.8 version ...

i resolved disconnecting from the ftp and reconnecting .. but sometimes is very annoyng!

My issue is that I want to get the "PASSIVE" Mode to work...

I could see such error happening, when range of passive mode ports is too small. Reserve atleast 50ports per user online.. more = better

D1 Thanks, but how do I get the "PASSIVE" Mode working?
As that is what I am looking for...

Ahh.. problems you encountered were with active mode

Reason for those errors is badly configured receiving host (using very limited amount of ports to receive...) Anyways, nat should be configured as following:

[Nat]
Host = <internet ip/hostname> (213.x.x.x)
Ports = <from>-<to>
Bind = <local ip> (192.168.0.2)

[Ftp-service]
Device = Nat
Port = <siteport>

Forward port <siteport> and ports <from>-<to> from router to site.

In devices setup...

Host = ur external IP
Ports = ur passive/data ports (u have to open them also in ur router ... 1024-1059 fe, depends on how many users u want simultan on ur ftp)

This is true with all NAT or Firewalled servers.. I have mine on an outside address, but still have to open ports because we're running a Firewall on that box as well.. to prevent little kiddies Packet crap, its annoying to have to do, but will save your bacon in the long run.
