FTP Server

The ports you need to forward are port 21 and then a range of high ports for passive mode ftp. (Like 50000 - 50100)

Look at this post for some more detailed info.

Also, when you setup Serv-U, you need to specify your WAN IP address for passive mode and then the same range of high ports you forwarded in the Linksys.

Try a search on this forum for Serv-U and FTP and you'll find some other good discussions on this topic. Hope this helps you. If not, let us know.

The problem is I did as they said and they could not connect, even I didn't connect to myself.

Forwarding ports 0-65535 is a REALLY bad idea for all kinds of reasons. What ports do you have forwarded in the Linky right now? Can you make a connection to your ftp server across the LAN inside the Linky? Try connecting across the LAN using PORT mode. This will eliminate the Linky and that will tell you if you have a basic setup problem with Serv-U.

well, right now it's 19-22 and 50000-51000 and I cannot access from LAN.

no luck with me either.

Switched from serv-u to BPFTP and it worked immediately.

reply to IcEr3K
make sure your "domain ip" is your lan IP and not your WAN IP.

reply to IcEr3K
yeah, im having the same problem with my linksys and serv-u
im about to give bpftp a try though, and see if it makes a differance

reply to IcEr3K
aww hell man, that shit worked.... i cant believe what i messed up on

i had the serv-u set to login on my WAN, and then when people would login, it wouldnt get forwarded anywhare... i then set the login to my LAN ip, and have people login to the WAN IP, and then it got forwarded correctly

reply to IcEr3K
xlredeyelx,

could you post what you have your settings for linksys router and in serv-u. I have done all of that and no one can get in including me from the machine that has serv-u on it.

reply to IcEr3K
I found the setting to ALLOW PASSIVE MODE DATA TRANSFERS, use IP.... selection. Was selected.. couldnt get a log on
trial and error I found out that for some reason it didnt update when it was first selected. Try reselecting it, refreshing settings, and might want to restart the server..
Also I have my real world IP there....

Good Luck

reply to IcEr3K

Can someone gimme a step by step instructions of how to do it...my router is pissing me off cuz i can't do anything with it. I have a linksys router, but i'm trying to use serv-u. But no on can log on...plz someone help me....

You ever have any luck in getting your ftp server to provide a dir listing on a non-standard port? FTP works fine on the LAN, just can't seem to get clients to pull a dir listing from the server. Logging in works fine.

Rezzin, when running on a non-standard port with the linksys, clients can only connect using PORT mode. PASV won't work. That's most likely why they can't get a dir listing.
