Re: trouble using ftp.exe to connect to external site

Hello Richy,

Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for the delay response due to the
weekend.

I complete understanding your concern. The rrasmgmt.msc is RRAS management
console, it will manage the port forwarding for windows NAT.

If you want to run script to do the port forwarding on RRAS, you need run
command "netsh".

Adds or deletes a NAT address mapping:

routing ip nat add/delete addressmapping

Adds or deletes a NAT port mapping:

routing ip nat add/delete portmapping

For detail information, please refer to the following page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows2000/en/advanced/help/sag_RRAS-Ch2_2
1.htm

Therefore, you can try to write script to forwarding range of ports in
RRAS.

We have a special newsgroup about coding. I strongly suggest you repost
your issue in MSDN newsgroup to get help about the script writing.

MSDN newsgroup: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp

I hope the information help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| Hello Richy,
|
| Thank you for reply.
|
| To forward all higher TCP ports to internal client, I suggest the
following
| steps:
|
| 1. If you have a router before the SBS, you have to forward all higher
TCP
| ports from router to SBS. For detail steps please contact your router
| vendor.
|
| Note: After you finish the step 1, we can access active FTP from SBS
server
|
| 2. Forward all higher TCP ports to one internal client computer:
|
| 1) Run rrasmgmt.msc in SBS 2003
|
| 2) Extend IP Routing and you should see the NAT/Basic Firewall node
|
| 3) Highlight NAT/Basic Firewall and you will see SBS server external
| network interface on right (By default the interface name should be
| "Network Connection").
|
| 4) Right-click Network Connection interface select Properties
|
| 5) Click Services and Ports tab
|
| 6) Click Add button
|
| 7) Enter the description, select TCP or UDP, input port number in
Incoming
| port box, input internal IP in Private address box, input port number in
| Outgoing port box.
|
| Note: You can only input one port number here.
|
| 8) Click OK twice
|
| Note: Repeat all above steps all every port from 1024 to 65535. It is a
| hard work! That why I do not suggest you do this. If you install the ISA
| server 2004, the work is easy. We only need to create a publishing rule.
|
| You also can contact the FTP site support, to make the FTP site only use
a
| small range of TCP ports. It will the forwarding on RRAS easier.
|
| Important: It is a dangerous action for your network!
|
| I hope these steps will give you some help.
|
| Thanks and have a nice weekend!

| | Hello Thomas,
| |
| | Thank you for kind update.
| |
| | The active mode FTP need forward high TCP ports (1024~65535) from
router
| to
| | SBS, then, forward from SBS to one internal client. It is not a good
| choice.
| |
| | Note: The Active mode FTP connection will random use the ports between
| 1024
| | and 65535.
| |
| | 1. It is very dangerous for your network if you open the whole high TCP
| | ports for external. The external will easy enter your internal network.
| |
| | 2. We can only forward the ports to one internal client computer. That
| | means, only this one client can access the FTP site. The other client
| still
| | cannot work.
| |
| | 3. The ports forwarding include 1725 (PPTP) and 4125 (RWW), if we do
| that,
| | the RWW and the VPN will not work.
| |
| | Therefore, I strongly suggest you do not do the ports forwarding on SBS
| and
| | router. I suggest you try to change another FTP client software support
| | PASV mode FTP to replace the old one.
| |
| | If there's anything else I can do for you, please do not hesitate to
let
| me
| | know.
| |
| | Thank you and have a nice day,
| |
