The connection was reset

#1 Post by smadge » 2006-07-25 21:13

I got filezilla server set it up, forwarded the correct ports and configured everything. when connecting as a client to the server using my local network ip or 127.0.0.1 everything works as it should. but when I connect using my actual ip it get the error message : the connection to the server was reset. this makes me think its a port forwarding problem but I forwarded ports 20 and 21. Thanks for any help!

edit: I read somewhere that it may be a isp problem...

No it's a router problem. Connecting with your WAN IP (from your ISP) does only work from outside your router. Inside your LAN you have to use your LAN IP.

To test if your server can be connected, use a place like http://www.g6ftpserver.com/en/ftptest
