Brennan Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I have installed freeNAS and I got everything to work except for the FTP; the FTP works from inside the lan but not from the internet, I did set up the port forwarding and put it in the DMZ for testing it and this is how I have it set up on the server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 You put it in the DMZ? :/ You probably don't want to do that, paticulaly if you have anonymose access enabled. How do you try and connect to it via the Internet, (namly, what do you do to try and connect to it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 If you can access it, but it hangs when you try to list a directory or download a file it means you need to use (or stop using... Either way) PASV mode. FTP uses port 21 for the commands, but will then use a different port for the data transfers. When you don't port-forward those aswell, you need that PASV mode thing to get by.

Brennan Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 I only put it in the DMZ for testing to get it set up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think in fact that like what cooper said, it uses port 21 initially and 20 for data transfer, so you probably have to port forward both. i actually had a really dumb problem with a D-link router one time there are seperate security settings in which external FTP connections are disallowed. So I would have to forward ports 21 and 20 + allow external FTP connections (which i think means that ports 20 and 21 aren't blocked) yea, that router pretty much sucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 if you try to connect to it from the web it can see it just not connect to it as you can see instead of seeing this say its not there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Try setting it to something like port 9090 and using www.myaddress.com:9090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 I just tried it and gave me the same message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Try using telnet (yes, telnet) to connect to the port. See if you get the FTP server's banner. If not, your d-link is still misconfigured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 that dont work either. it sees it but cant connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Define 'sees it'. Resolves the IP? That doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 it is saying that it could not connect to server and not server could not be found here if you wanna try it out for yourself go to ftp:redwind.no-ip.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
