Please read the FAQ for instructions how to configure your router an/or firewall.

I found out that the passive mode works fine in FileZilla Server Version 0.9.16c.

But in the versions 0.9.17 and 0.9.18 it don't.

I used the same configuration file for .16c up to .18.
The Problem is that .17 and .18 sends my local ip to the client at the PASC command and not my external one from the router. in all version configs i tested it with the method of an hostname (dyndns) and a skript on my domainserver to send back the ip adress. but both methods don't work.

I've been experiencing the same issue. I'm running 0.9.18 and clients keep trying to connect to the local private IP despite having PASV mode configured to send the external public IP. There is one exception. CuteFTP seems to be able to connect without any trouble. So far, this is the only FTP client I've tried that will connect and open the data channel.

I've tried what worked for you, installing 16c with the same configuration but no go. Same problem. CuteFTP works but nothing else.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Apparently I wasn't thinking. It turns out I mis-interpereted the field in the config where I placed the external IP. Once I used the right field, all clients connect without any trouble. The reason CuteFTP worked is because the developers were smart enough to try and connect to the same IP as the control channel if given a different IP for the data channel. Good thinking. Maybe a new feature for the Filezilla client.

Will come with FileZilla 3.
