From internet can't connect to my ftp server using browser
I hope that someone couls help me!
i have tried with my cousin and she can connect to my filezilla ftp server when she uses cuteftp but she ca't connect using firefox or iexplorer
I have already configured router and i have forwarded port 20 and 21 and 50000 to 50100 range (i think this is for passive ftp).
I can connect to myself using internet address with firefox and iexplorer!
Please help me!!

i explain myself better
My english is not good and i think that probably people can't undersatnd what i have previously written! So i will reply
The connection from outside (internet) to my filezilla server fail if people from outside use browser to connect. If people use ftp client like cuteftp the connection works good.
Many people use only browser so i'd like to correct this problem to make my server work properly also with browser (iexplore and firefox)

Try enabling the Network Address Translation (NAT) function on your router, instead of IP forwarding.
Also, Filezilla FAQ recommends the TCP port range for Passive mode to be 5000 - 5100, not 50000 to 51000. I'm not sure if that was just a typo in your post or not.
Once you enable the NAT function and point your external IP to your FTP server, you should be able to browse to your FTP site by entering your external IP address (ex. ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/).
give that a try....

firefox
When typing my server URI into firefox it prompts for username/pass. After entering them in, it thinks indefinitely and does not connect.
However, when I include the username into the URI (eg: 'ftp://myusername@ftp.example.com') it works flawlessly. Why is this happening?
NOTE:I have instructed my windows clients to download and use FZ, but many refuse. Most use IE (i am ok there) and a large proportion are using firefox.
(firefox 2.0)

Fix For IE and Firefox
I had to UNCHECK the passive FTP option in internet explorer on the client who wanted to connect to the FTP server in order for them to work with filezilla's server. Once that was unchecked it worked fine.

Read the FAQ how to properly configure your server/router/firewall in order for passive mode to work.dewman13790 wrote:I had to UNCHECK the passive FTP option in internet explorer on the client who wanted to connect to the FTP server in order for them to work with filezilla's server.
