[Donto]

hey im using vsFTPd and i cant get it to let me FXP from other ftp servers

it times out and takes the next file when if comes to this place in flashFXP command

 

[L] 226 Directory send OK.

[L] List Complete: 115 bytes in 0,73 seconds (0,2 KB/s)

[R] PASV

[R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (**,***,*,**,**,***)

[L] PORT **,***,*,**,**,***

[L] 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.

[L] STOR lxr.mfog.sfv

 

i dont know why it does this but if somone have any ideas please post them.

Are you behind a router? Or is there any firewall blocking ports? If so limit the port range for passive transfers using 'pasv_min_port' and 'pasv_max_port' and forward/accept the selected range.

no firewall at all all ports everything is forwarded to the box its a rented dedicated server should i still try pasv_min_port and pasv_max_port if what should i try setting it to ??

[z0ny]

It defines the port range the ftpd uses in order to make passive connections, for example 3000 and 3100. The setting tells the ftpd to use those 100 ports for passive connections. But if you're not behind a router or firewall all you normally need is pasv_promiscuous and port_promiscuous to allow data connections from foreign sources... o_O The other server is configured fine? Post your entire configuration file if you don't mind.

thats my entire conf file

 

Does it mean anything that im able to FXP from my server but not to my server ??

[z0ny]

Well I'm not using vsFTPd but your configuration looks fine to me. Again, are you sure the server you're trying FXP with is configured correctly? Is there anything in the logs (system logs, ftpd logs, ...)? Maybe you should join us on IRC, we can troubleshoot easier there.

I found out somthing wierd though if i use FlashFXP v 3.0.2 buil 1044 i works like a charm but if i use FlashFXP v 3.2.0 build 1080 it dosnt work thats a big proble, since alot of difrent ppl should be abled to FXP to and from my FTP server

 

any one knows anything about this problem ??

by a couple of weeks googleing i found out that the new version of FlashFXP standard settings is set to not allow FXP transfers on port 21 so i just moved it to port 21000 and now it works

 

just thougt it might come in handy for other users !
