filezilla keeps disconnecting after passive mode

Yet, when I try to connect from outside my local network (3G network on iPhone), it keeps trying to connect forever with no error messages. I have Serv-U (I can try Filezilla if it is better) setup with domain IP as my local IP (192.168.1.xxx) and that same IP has port 21 forwarded to it.ĭD-WRT is showing my external IP properly (at least I think so) because I traced it and it went back to my ISP. According to Shields Up, my port 21 is stealthed even though I forwarded it to my internal IP. I am not a computer idiot and I do not change software to avoid a root problem.īack to the problem. I have nothing against Filezilla and I love the client (use it daily).

That is why I was asking if Filezilla is worth looking into. I did not bother because I did not need the FTP server after all ) Yes it did not work but that is not why I did not bother. When I tried Filezilla, that was over a year ago. Thnx for the reply Bud, but please do not assume so much. I would suggest you verify that your not behind a double nat - are you sure the IP address on the wan side of your router is a public one? What is the make and model of the device your router connects too? Or is it a adsl modem/router? PM me your public IP and I will tell you if its open. What is your router connected to? You sure your not behind a double nat - which would cause you problem you saying, can hit it through a loopback, but not from the outside. Most routers do not support this btw, but would kind of point that your forward is good - but something is blocking it. If you say you can reach the box from your internal network using a loopback forward - ie hitting your routers wan IP from the lan side and getting forwarded back in.

Sure you can change them - is that your issue? Maybe? You need to understand if the network you leaving allows 21, you need to understand if the network your on allows 21 inbound. Are you trying to connect active or passive from the outside? WTF did you think was going to happen with the other server software? Did you think it uses some magic or something that the other one doesnt? It's a freaking FTP server - they all listen on 21 and send data on 20. You figured oh I will just try another one. What I love about these threads - is you had issues with filezilla, but were too lazy to troubleshoot the root cause.
