Hi guys. I have been trying to set up ftp access for a friend of mine to my server. I have the account setup, the share access and all that good stuff. I have been at this for a while now. I have tried a lot of different things and so I'll just tell you what I have done so far because I have tried many different combination of things and nothing. Before that, I can tell you that locally I can ftp to the share fine. If I use the internal IP that is. Once I change that to the domain name(ddns), no access. I have forwarded the individual port and also used a range for passive access which I also enabled on the server with no luck. I have tried with and without passive mode on. I was using just ssl access so I went back and added the other ports to the router so I could check the non ssl access to the server which works fine. So I have checked that. I have used port 21, and others just to see if the server would take it, but nothing worked. I did this because I noticed that filezilla automatically defaults to port 21 which makes sense but still didn't work when that port was forwarded. Now the default router ports are 20:21 so this is the reason I was using other port numbers and the range without the internal port so that it would just chose whatever port is available to prevent conflict with the router ftp. Still nothing. I went and read about changing some settings under the passive and active tab in filezilla but even then still nothing. So I thought I change to winscp just to test this out and here's the message I get there. I have also added the filezilla error I get when trying to connect.
I also forgot to ask, is FTP a plugin? I wanted to uninstalled it but didn't find a plugin for it.
I just got this other error on here after I hit submit.
