I have forwarded ports 21 and ports 30000 - 30999. It just throws the same error, except with my external IP instead of my LAN IP. I have tried changing "pasv_address" in the config file to point to my external IP but that just breaks the ftp totally. Also, notice the IP address in message 227 is a LAN IP - 192.168.1.2. I am assuming that it is a port forwarding issue. I can login, but as soon as I try to utilize the data port, I get:Ģ27 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,118,151). I spent all last night googling and tried all the suggestions I encountered but none worked. The firewall does not block the server’s attempt to communicate with the client because the client initiated the communication both times.I need to get a ftp server going on my server, but am running into some trouble. NAT configurations do not block this connection request. In passive mode, the FTP client initiates both connection attempts. The firewall blocks the server’s attempt to communicate with the client because the server uses a different port than the first connection. Network Address Translation (NAT) configurations block this connection request. In active mode, the FTP server responds to the connection attempt and returns a connection request from a different port to the FTP client. When you use a passive mode session, however, the data port does not always use port 20. During a typical active mode session, the command port uses port 21 and the data port uses port 20. Active and passive mode sessionsįTP uses a data port and a command port to transfer information between a client and a server.
For more information about firewalls, read our How to Configure Your Firewall for cPanel & WHM Services documentation. If you use the nftables, firewalld, or iptables applications for your firewall, you must enable firewall settings for the passive ports manually. If you use the ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) firewall plugin, the system also adds passive port ranges to your server’s firewall by default. In cPanel & WHM version 60 and later, the system enables passive ports 49152 through 65534 for Pure-FTPd servers and ProFTPD servers by default.
