Thread: help setting up ftp server

explain about your network setup.
you have to forward the port 21 for ftp server ip.see your dyndns updater working or not ?.first make sure you are able to ping your domain and check your port 21 status by using online port scanners or use nmap.

port forward done with 21/210/14714/21210 and many more
dyndns updater work and show correct ip (dynamic from ISP).
i can ping to my server.but, not get connected.
it takes me to router login.
have tried scanning from t1shopper, show ports open for
my ip and dyndns registerd name. but, still no access.

thats the problem your modem isnt forwarding the ftp port recheck configuraion delete it and add again save and reboot or anything required follow the procedure.
what you see from your t1shopper is nothing but the modems ftp access.

have done numerous time and set router to factory defaults.
as for t1shopper it showed my PASV port range 30000-30005
and other port which i tried forwarding.
when i shut down serv-u i didn't get any reply for PASV port range.

try with some other ftp software.

this all will help if you have configured your ftp server properly.
have you checked your ftp server settings/access ?.. are you able to access it from lan side ?... do step by step get done for lan first than do the rest as discussed in earlier posts.

on lan it work without any problem/s
upload/download files from ftp server.
no issues with that.
have tried filezilla/goftp/bulletproof/blackmoon
and others but still the same.

have you checked your ftp server settings/configurstion file ?... working on linux or windows ?..i still feel your ftp server settings is causing the whole problem.see your error logs for ftp/modem logs to know more about.

running on windows.
on lan i have no probles as i have stated earlier.
logs are clean, no errors.

Still the same.
will try with zyxel prestige 600 this
weekend. and keep you updated with events.
