Open ftp from outside local network #43

Closed JaySea77 closed 5 years ago

JaySea77 commented 5 years ago

When opening the ftp on localhost it works. When opening the ftp from another computer within my network it works when I use the internal ip-adres. When I connect from outside my network and forward the port to my computer I can login, but then the connection is refused. How can I set it up to accept connections from outside my network. Do I need another port to be opened aswell?

Hey. You need to configure access rules in your server firewall / router and in your client network.

There is 2 ways of communicate with FTP. Passive or Active. Depending on what is your ftp client configuration, you may need to configure one way or the other.

Please take a look to this page so you can understand what you need.

After I bound the ip-address it worked. Don’t know why that was needed.

I have a new router and want to keep the forwarded ports to a minium. When I connect from outside my network it does open the ftp, but doesn't do a diretory listing. It just hangs. What other ports should be forwarded?
