Hi there (never mind the grammar in this post) I have got this problem with my second ftp server. My first ftp serv works fine, I forwarded port 21 on my router (NAT) to my first server and it works Now my second ftp server cannot use port 21 right? so I configured it at port 79 and did a forwarding on my router to my second ftp server on port 79 I also made a port range forwarding to my second ftp server (for passive connections) 192.168.1.54 (first FTP) 192.168.1.60 (second FTP) **nat table snippet** 21 -> 21 192.168.1.54 79 -> 79 192.168.1.60 40000:40100 192.168.1.60 **nat table snippet** I configured the ftp server with 2 deamons (I never run them at the same time) vsftpd (very secure ftp deamon) pure-ftpd (pure..) On intranet 192.168.1.x clients can login to both servers doesn't matter witch deamon I run I configured vsftd like this: ************************************** anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=NO xferlog_std_format=YES ftpd_banner=Welcome to FTP server 2 pasv_enable=YES pasv_promiscuous=YES pasv_min_port=40000 pasv_max_port=40100 pasv_address=192.168.1.60 pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES listen=YES listen_port=79 tcp_wrappers=YES ******************************************* And pure-ftp like this: ******************************************* ChrootEveryone yes BrokenClientsCompatibility no MaxClientsNumber 50 Daemonize yes MaxClientsPerIP 8 VerboseLog no DisplayDotFiles yes AnonymousOnly no NoAnonymous no SyslogFacility ftp DontResolve yes MaxIdleTime 15 LimitRecursion 2000 8 AnonymousCanCreateDirs no MaxLoad 4 DefaultAddress 192.168.1.60 PassivePortRange 40000 40100 ForcePassiveIP (ip from ISP) AntiWarez yes Bind 192.168.1.60,79 Umask 133:022 MinUID 100 AllowUserFXP yes AllowAnonymousFXP no ProhibitDotFilesWrite no ProhibitDotFilesRead no AutoRename no AnonymousCantUpload no MaxDiskUsage 99 CustomerProof yes ******************************************* Now the problem is I can't contact my second ftp server from the outside (internet)
Did you tell your FTP clients to use port 79? Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP clients?
yes i did, I tested from my house and made a php script to test it remote from "outside" while i'm at work (working on intranet). Tested the script and manual login on my other FTP serv and it works
What's the output of Code: netstat -tap and Code: iptables -L on the server where you run FTP on port 79?
