VPN blues

#1 Post by nne450 » 2020-10-27 06:04

Having "directory listing" problem.

I have working dynamic IP with VPN on pfSense router. ftp.example.com is already setup.

Ports (2100, 30000-30009) are already forwarded to the FTP server. FileZilla wizard test (with http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php option) gives me the following:

Code: Select all

Connecting to probe.filezilla-project.org
Connection established, waiting for welcome message.
Response: 220 FZ router and firewall tester ready
USER FileZilla
Response: 331 Give any password.
PASS 3.51.0
Response: 230 logged on.
Checking for correct external IP address
Retrieving external IP address from http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php
Checking for correct external IP address
IP 45.87.212.180 ef-ih-cbc-bia
Response: 200 OK
PREP 30008
Response: 200 Using port 30008, data token 593475883
PORT 45,87,212,180,117,56
Response: 200 PORT command successful
LIST
Response: 150 opening data connection
Please note that 45.87.212.180 is VPN out IP, not my router's external address. As a result, FileZilla gives directory listing problem.

However, with the same exact setup, sFTP can connect successfully. Please find attached sFTP and FileZilla connection logs.

I prefer FileZilla. Any hint will be much appreciated.

Best wishes to all.

Just to correct my previous message. sFTP too cannot connect from outside. Only local.

Sorry.

Looks like a server-side issue. You can test your server on https://ftptest.net/
