Configuring an FTP Server
Hi Folks, I haven't done this in about 4 years, and am coming a bit unstuck. I could really do with some thoughts on the below. Where I'm coming from... When i ran an FTP server back in the day, I was using XP with it's, (cauf, cauf), Firewall, Eset NOD32 AV, ServU FTP Server and a Linksys WRT 54G. How life seemed much more simple... Now, the box I'm going to use for the Server has Windows 7, a Draytek Router and File Zilla Server. It also has Windows Firewall & Eset Smart Security. I've installed FS Server and created a test account. I've set my Desktop up with a Static IP on the LAN. Giving the Drayteks IP as the Gateway, and the DNS Server it specified. Connection to other machines on the LAN and out to the Internet is fine. I cant' get a connection into my FTP Server. I've read here, http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_portforwarding.html how to "Open a port" on the Draytek. I specified the IP for the box the Servers running on. Applied the setting,and confirmed it was in the Port Forwarding table, with start and end ports of 21. I temporarily turned off both Windows Firewall & esets Firewall, then went to, http://ftptest.net/ To test the connection from outside the LAN. It's still timing out, and the Servers showing no attempts in the log. It's not getting through somewhere... I did spy something in FZs' FAQ here http://goo.gl/mlydm regarding Passive Mode. I didnt' understand if this was absolutely necessary. It's been a long time and I remember people could connect using (Active, used to be the default mode), or Passive in their client. The above article, talks about settings in FZ, sticking it to an IP and custum port between 5000 and 5100. It doesn't mention if I did this if I'd then also need to open these ports on my router. FYI, File Zilla reports that it is Online and not Locked. NB. I will more than likely leave Windows Firewall disabled and figure out how to create a rule in Esets Firewall for the server once I confirm it's coming through the draytek, i'll worry about the software stuff. Also, I'm going to use something like a Dynamic DNS client once I've got the connection working. The ISP, I seriously doubt would happily hand out a Static IPv4 address to me these days. Any thoughts of what to try next? Cheers, Barry.
Hi Barry, Set the starting port to 20 and the end to 21, and see what happens.

Hi ben, Other people have been asking me this and I'm not sure how to check. Am I testing File/Print Shares on the network? If so other machines on the LAN connect to the box with no problems on these. I'm not sure how to get another machine to connect to the FTP Server on this box from withint he LAN. Is it just a case of the host address being this machines IP, still using port 21 and one of the account details?

Hi Folks,
I haven't done this in about 4 years, and am coming a bit unstuck. I could really do with some thoughts on the below.
Where I'm coming from... When i ran an FTP server back in the day, I was using XP with it's, (cauf, cauf), Firewall, Eset NOD32 AV, ServU FTP Server and a Linksys WRT 54G. How life seemed much more simple...
Now, the box I'm going to use for the Server has Windows 7, a Draytek Router and File Zilla Server. It also has Windows Firewall & Eset Smart Security.
I've installed FS Server and created a test account.
I've set my Desktop up with a Static IP on the LAN. Giving the Drayteks IP as the Gateway, and the DNS Server it specified. Connection to other machines on the LAN and out to the Internet is fine.
I cant' get a connection into my FTP Server. I've read here,
http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_portforwarding.html
how to "Open a port" on the Draytek. I specified the IP for the box the Servers running on. Applied the setting,and confirmed it was in the Port Forwarding table, with start and end ports of 21.
I temporarily turned off both Windows Firewall & esets Firewall, then went to,
To test the connection from outside the LAN. It's still timing out, and the Servers showing no attempts in the log. It's not getting through somewhere...
I did spy something in FZs' FAQ here http://goo.gl/mlydm regarding Passive Mode. I didnt' understand if this was absolutely necessary. It's been a long time and I remember people could connect using (Active, used to be the default mode), or Passive in their client. The above article, talks about settings in FZ, sticking it to an IP and custum port between 5000 and 5100. It doesn't mention if I did this if I'd then also need to open these ports on my router.
FYI, File Zilla reports that it is Online and not Locked.
NB. I will more than likely leave Windows Firewall disabled and figure out how to create a rule in Esets Firewall for the server once I confirm it's coming through the draytek, i'll worry about the software stuff.
Also, I'm going to use something like a Dynamic DNS client once I've got the connection working. The ISP, I seriously doubt would happily hand out a Static IPv4 address to me these days.
Any thoughts of what to try next?
Cheers,
Barry.

Hi all, Updating on this. It's resolved. After running out of walls in my house to smash my head into. I went back to the computer. Knowing, that my routers ports had been forwarded correctly, (there was just no other way of doing it), that Esets Firewall was disabled the only other culprit could be Windows 7's Firewall. But, I'd turne dit off? Hadn't I? Yes, indeed I had, but not all of it. There's about 3 or 4 different areas that it needs to be turned off for. The Firewall is actually a multi-page property sheet type affair. The first page is Domain, Private, Public and Local I believe are the others that are Firewalled. All are On by default. once I'd flicked them off hey, presto! Thank you very much to all of you who have fired suggestions my way over the past week. Everythings setup, Esets back in with it's Firewall rules configured correctly as well. Take care, barry. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ben Mustill-Rose Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 1:15 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Configuring an FTP Server Probably an obvious question, but I'm guessing that you're able to connect through its lan ip?

Hi all, The subjectline sais it all I think. I am looking for a NAS which has to operate in rait 5. And has room for atleast 3 or more disks. Since I am not yet confortable using ssh or telnet, I really want a nas with an accessible webinterface. Does one of you have a good recommendation? Thanks in advance, Vincent.

I could really do with some thoughts on the below. Where I'm coming from... When i ran an FTP server back in the day, I was using XP with it's, (cauf, cauf), Firewall, Eset NOD32 AV, ServU FTP Server and a Linksys WRT 54G. How life seemed much more simple... Now, the box I'm going to use for the Server has Windows 7, a Draytek Router and File Zilla Server. It also has Windows Firewall & Eset Smart Security. I've installed FS Server and created a test account. I've set my Desktop up with a Static IP on the LAN. Giving the Drayteks IP as the Gateway, and the DNS Server it specified. Connection to other machines on the LAN and out to the Internet is fine. I cant' get a connection into my FTP Server. I've read here, http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_portforwarding.html how to "Open a port" on the Draytek. I specified the IP for the box the Servers running on. Applied the setting,and confirmed it was in the Port Forwarding table, with start and end ports of 21. I temporarily turned off both Windows Firewall & esets Firewall, then went to, http://ftptest.net/ To test the connection from outside the LAN. It's still timing out, and the Servers showing no attempts in the log. It's not getting through somewhere... I did spy something in FZs' FAQ here http://goo.gl/mlydm regarding Passive Mode. I didnt' understand if this was absolutely necessary. It's been a long time and I remember people could connect using (Active, used to be the default mode), or Passive in their client. The above article, talks about settings in FZ, sticking it to an IP and custum port between 5000 and 5100. It doesn't mention if I did this if I'd then also need to open these ports on my router. FYI, File Zilla reports that it is Online and not Locked. NB. I will more than likely leave Windows Firewall disabled and figure out how to create a rule in Esets Firewall for the server once I confirm it's coming through the draytek, i'll worry about the software stuff. Also, I'm going to use something like a Dynamic DNS client once I've got the connection working. The ISP, I seriously doubt would happily hand out a Static IPv4 address to me these days. Any thoughts of what to try next?

You know, if you need a platform to test connecting back to your PC, I can give you a login on my linux machine at home. You could ssh to my machine and then run a portscan on your own machine or ftp back to it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Toner" <barry@barry-toner.co.uk> To: <steve@comproom.co.uk>; "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 7:54 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Configuring an FTP Server
