Re: Cannot get FTP to Work - disconnects

I'm out of idea as well. From what you posted it looks like port issue, coz
you can get it but not dir listing, etc.
Also the 2 nic involved. You can try disable one NIC and see if it works
since there's no firewall in between.

IIS ftp config is simple, just that the network part is really mess up.
especially with NAT, passive mode, RRAS, and this one 2 NIC setup.

good luck.

I think that I will have to give up on this. I had wanted to set up sFTP
and
felt that getting FTP running was a good prerequisite.

Yes the server has 2 NIC's. NIC 1 is an internal NIC to the internal
network. When I connect from a different server I can run any FTP command.
However, I can't use 'get' even if I have the file name and the dir / ls
command does not return any results even with files in the directory. I
have
the users permissions set to read and list.
From the external NIC we use VPN. There is no Firewall in place for this.
I
want to get a firewall with a DMZ on it but that hasn't happened yet. From
outside the company which i try from home, everything is the same as
inside
the company except after the dir command or the get command the connection
drops in 15 - 20 seconds.

Could this be related to IIS settings? I had always understood that
setting
up FTP was quite easy.

Sorry, been busy.
For external nic, any firewall in between. it still looks like some port
blocking issue to me.

Yes, That is correct. 2 NIC,s 1 internal on standard class C and 1
external
VPN. I can login on both NIC's. If I DIR on internal it does not show
me
the
file(s) but stays connected. The external drops the connection about 20
seconds after the DIR command.

As I understand from your posts, your have a ftp server with 2 NIC,
the internal NIC connected to internal LAN work fine, right?
can login and dir listing? but not the external nic for vpn access.

I have one file in the directory. it is called banner.txt. It will
become
my
FTP login usage warning. All computers are the same standard Class C
subnet.
