Title: Problems with FTP server - HELP!
Post by: Audrius on September 09, 2003, 04:57:06 PM
Some of users can connect to ftp server. But some cannot. Passwords and users are correct. The error is:

FTP server is behind firewall. Can it be some firewall stuff or wrong ftp client configurations? Or SME bug?

HELP!!!

Looks like a config problem on the ftp client - make sure they are using Passive Mode

But there is passive mode in use:

227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,254,130,21).
connecting to 192.168.0.254:33301

It is strange that I can connect from my external workstation with Windows/Vmware but I cannot connect from same workstation from Linux...

If you're client is using passive mode then it shouldn't be issuing a PORT command?

So it is ftp client problem??? Then which client (preferable free) I have to use?

And if I put server on real IP adress (not behind router with internal IP), will it be more simple to connect to it?
