501 Syntax error

#1 Post by matt2369 » 2009-05-04 23:00

I am trying to setup a home FTP server and I am getting a error. I have read a ton of forum pages and nothing seems to work. When I try to log onto my server from a computer outside my LAN I get an 501 Syntax error. By looking at the logs it looks like I'm getting through my Firewall just fine but looks like it's have issues opening my directory?

Below are a copy of my logs. Any help is much appreciated! :D

Looks like the client is sending IPv6 data. Filezilla Server does not support IPv6. Configure your client to send IPv4 data. I'd recommend to use Passive mode, too.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.

Even if it did, for IPv6 you need to use EPRT, not PORT.

I am using FireFTP as my client and I only see one setting that refers to IP6 which is under the passive mode settings, and it is not checked. Also, I tried connecting in passive mode but I get a 425 Can't open data connection error. Here are my logs for my attempt in passive mode.

Most likely some router and/or firewall sabotaging the connection.

Please read the Network Configuration guide.
