To the site clueless

Have you maped the needed ports on the router ?

If you are using the update client it may be reporing the local IP of the pc and not the internet ip.

Tun run an FTP server behind a NAT router you need to:

Configure the FTP server to:

1. Use the IP address of the WAN port of your router instead of its own LAN address when writing IP addresses to the FTP command stream;

2. Use a predefined limited range of ports for FTP passive mode connections, e.g. 50000-50099.

Configure the NAT router to:

3. Forward port 21 to the FTP Server LAN address;

4. Forward the range of passive ports (as configured in the server) to the FTP server LAN address.

I do not know the details of configuring the Belkin router, but details for configuring the server applications and the Linksys range of routers are given at http://www.linksysftp.org/. Good luck!

Yep - but it was via a pix and winroute not a router.... You just need to make sure that the ports are set-up correctly.

On the belkin routers you just need to add port mappings to the pc you are running the server on....

If you want to set the wan IP you will need to do this in BPFTP. Select the custom IP as your internet IP.

We need more info from you about the problem: please explain exactly what is going wrong when clients try to connect. Preferably, use the diagnostic capabilities of the FTP client to post a transcript of the exchanges between client and server on the command stream.

Which ISP blocks port 21? NTL do not block port 21.

It does not matter what port number you use for the command stream, provided you forward the same port through the router, and configure the client to use the same port. You still need to make all the other configurations listed in my post above, just changing "21" to the actual port number you use. Have you done those?

Quote:

Trigger Port 6699

It is a mistake to configure any trigger ports for an FTP server: delete the trigger settings.

i have altered the nic as ur link said but my router says dynamic ip there is a option in the router to make it static here is some info

.Cable/DSL :
CONNECTED
WAN IP: 81.108.100.***

Gateway IP: 81.108.100.2**
DNS: 194.168.4.1**
Secondary DNS: 194.168.8.*

this is the option in the router to change it to static

List of FTP codes

This list includes most of the FTP codes in RFC 959. Some FTP servers may issue replies that are slightly different.

Code Description
110 Restart marker reply. In this case, the text is exact and not left to the particular implementation; it must read: MARK yyyy = mmmm where yyyy is User-process data stream marker, and mmmm server's equivalent marker (note the spaces between markers and "=").
120 Service ready in nnn minutes.
125 Data connection already open; transfer starting.
150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
200 Command okay.
202 Command not implemented, superfluous at this site.
211 System status, or system help reply.
212 Directory status.
213 File status.
214 Help message.On how to use the server or the meaning of a particular non-standard command. This reply is useful only to the human user.
215 NAME system type. Where NAME is an official system name from the list in the Assigned Numbers document.
220 Service ready for new user.
221 Service closing control connection.
225 Data connection open; no transfer in progress.
226 Closing data connection. Requested file action successful (for example, file transfer or file abort).
227 Entering Passive Mode (h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2).
230 User logged in, proceed. Logged out if appropriate.
250 Requested file action okay, completed.
257 "PATHNAME" created.
331 User name okay, need password.
332 Need account for login.
350 Requested file action pending further information
421 Service not available, closing control connection.This may be a reply to any command if the service knows it must shut down.
425 Can't open data connection.
426 Connection closed; transfer aborted.
450 Requested file action not taken.
451 Requested action aborted. Local error in processing.
452 Requested action not taken. Insufficient storage space in system.File unavailable (e.g., file busy).
500 Syntax error, command unrecognized. This may include errors such as command line too long.
501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments.
502 Command not implemented.
503 Bad sequence of commands.
504 Command not implemented for that parameter.
530 Not logged in.
532 Need account for storing files.
550 Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
551 Requested action aborted. Page type unknown.
552 Requested file action aborted. Exceeded storage allocation (for current directory or dataset).
553 Requested action not taken. File name not allowed.

That transcript shows no errors: we need a transcript showing the errors that occur when you say you can't get it to work.

Quote:

You must not change the router to a static WAN IP address: the NTL system is liable to disconnect you if you do this. What is a good idea is to make the FTP server have a static IP address on your LAN, so that your port-forward rule will always work correctly.

Eccles · 09-03-2004, 23:01

I have an ftp server set up on my ntl connection and have had for ages. It's behind a linksys router. The way I did it was to configure the server with a fixed ip and then set the DMZ on the router to that fixed LAN ip address. I installed a good software firewall on the server machine to (as it is now effectively open!) and haven't had and problems with it yet. The setup also worked with port forwarding, but this still has a habit of messing up on my linksys router, even with the latest firmware loaded (if the router was powered off and on again).

Yep I gotta server running under ntl check www.behindthestorm.com - this is what is being hosted on it.

I have also set upo a server at a clients office behind a router. It can be fiddly but it can be done.
