   ftp won't work with firewall
  My friend just set up an FTP server, and I'm having trouble connecting to it.  I'm using a linksys cable router.  He's using port 2000, and I enabled port forwarding for ports 1999 to 2001 on TCP and UDP.  I also went to the options for UPnP forwarding, and I see that you can set up port forwarding for different applications.  The options look like this:Am I on the right track?Other people have connected and logged in using both IE and FTP clients.  Too bad I can't give you guys the address to try it out.   ___________________________________________________________Where to find the intensity (Updated Feb 10, 2004)[edited by - amish1234 on February 14, 2004 10:44:12 PM]
  Does his server support passive mode? OMG WHY NOT ;  Wait, if it''s your friend''s server, why are you the one playing around with port forwarding? ;quote:Original post by BradDaBug  Wait, if it''s your friend''s server, why are you the one playing around with port forwarding?   That''s what I thought at first, but my FTP client program (SSH) told me I might have a misconfigured firewall.What is this passive mode you speak of?   ___________________________________________________________Where to find the intensity (Updated Feb 10, 2004) ;  Make sure your client supports passive mode, and use it. If that doesn''t work, your friend might have his server configured wrong and it''s sending the wrong address for you to connect to.If your client has a verbose mode, check to see where it''s telling you to connect. If it''s 192,168,x,x,x,x it''s configured wrong.If you''d rather stick with active mode, you''ll have to set your client to only use a range of ports, and forward that range to your computer. ;  SSH as a FTP client? Now I''m really confused. ;  SSH, wtf? ;quote:Original post by BradDaBug  SSH as a FTP client? Now I''m really confused.   I''ve never heard of SSH before I set up my website, and the only thing I''ve used it for is FTP.  When I set up my website with UW, there was some page that was like, "download all this crap and use it to transfer your files to the server."Anyway, I see that SSH has a button called "new terminal window."  I click this button while connected to my web site''s server, and I get a unix command prompt.I then connected to my friend''s FTP from the unix server, and I''m currently downloading a file from him.  (It gets saved in the same directory for my webpage).  From there I can download it to my computer.  OMG!  Am I a haxx0r now!!!!?????  1337! W00T!!   ___________________________________________________________Where to find the intensity (Updated Feb 10, 2004) ;  Ah, ok. You're using sftp (ftp over ssh) to send files between you and your school computer. Then you're probably using a regular FTP client to connect to your buddy's computer.Have you tried connecting to your buddy's computer directly from yours using a regular non-ssh ftp client (just to satisfy my curiosity)??   [edited by - BradDaBug on February 14, 2004 11:39:37 PM];  SSH is for encrypting stuff. You might use it with an FTP client to keep your password and other information safe, but it itself isn''t an FTP client.
