503 error when list command is issued

[ajbutch123]

I am trying to use my ftp as a redirect server for an old modern warfare server. Every time a list command is issued it gives me a 503 bad sequence of commands error. Here is my log, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, to whoever set the rules that I can't use my gmail or hotmail accounts (which are the only ones I have) to sign up for these forums should BE SHOT IN THE FACE! ITS NOT LIKE I CAN'T GO TO HIDEMYASS AND CREATE A TEMP EMAIL ANYWAY, SO KILL YOURSELF.

Of course I did just get back from having my teeth drilled on, so I'm a little pissed off... but STILL! that's some BS

First thing is please don't be rude. Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail/Outlook were blocked to prevent spam. Anyways, your firewall or router might be messing with the connection. See Network Configuration.

Whatever connected to the server forgot the correct command/reply sequence. LIST and other transfer commands MUST be preceeded by either PORT/EPRT or PASV/EPSV.

First thing, I will be rude if someone makes me jump through unnecessary hoops to sign up to a simple forum. Like I already said, I can go to hidemyass and create as many .temp accounts as I damn well please. So why did you even bring that up? Its stupid to block something everyone can get around anyway.

My router is a linksys e3000 with dd-wrt installed, and to my knowledge doesn't have any kind of a firewall active.

what a useless post... ^

Did you read the log? Does it need a PORT and EPRT command, or just port? I don't know how to change the ftp settings on my modern warfare server.

Code: Select all

(000172)3/12/2015 12:36:07 PM - forsaken (xx.xx.xx.xx)> PORT 192,168,0,10,197,122

[boco]

I need to be more precise: EACH listing or transfer command MUST be preceded by PORT/EPRT or PASV/EPSV, no matter if that command succeeds or not. The PORT command was for the RETR that immediately followed in the log. For the LIST command later, the client must send another PORT first. Yes, I read the log.

Okay, so part of my problem was with my folder structure... so I solved that. Now I am getting this error:

This is me trying to join the server and download a map. I did it twice to see if the ports it requested changed and they did. So I guess my question is what range of ports do you recommend forwarding for this? should I forward 0 and 10 too? or just something like 160-300

[boco]

1. It depends on the client you use. Some (like the MS ftp.exe) can not be configured at all, making them useful only for LAN.
2. Active (PORT) mode has the data ports on the client side, means the client has to forward them. This works only if the client is configurable (see 1.).
3. The client you use sends the wrong IPv4 (unless you connect in LAN only). Needs to be configured to send the public IPv4 (see 1. again).
4. A good range is at least 100 ports in the 50000 or higher region. Those are usually free ports. Region below port 1025 SHOULD NEVER be used.

That being said, a good, configurable FTP client will support Passive mode, where all port forwarding and configuration is done at the server side. For automated, scripted operation a commandline client like lftp is recommended.

[ajbutch123]

Yes, but I am using call of duty 4 modern warfare (the client) to connect to my server. My server then redirects me to the ftp server to grab the mod/map I am running on the server. Its built into the game, and I know of no way to change it. I'm guessing it's in active mode?

4. A good range is at least 100 ports in the 50000 or higher region. Those are usually free ports. Region below port 1025 SHOULD NEVER be used.

Haha, yeah... I should have remembered that I seem to remember reading something about privileged ports? xD
