  1. Ftp Server Not Working - Solved

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    My ftp is on and all along it was OK.

    The mistake that I made was trying to connect to my own machine without using a proxy. This was pointed out to me elsewhere and I'm posting it so that anyone else who has the same problem can benefit from this.

    The tutorial by Besttechie will help to setup a working server.

    When testing it, test it from a DIFFERENT computer or USE a proxy while testing it.

    My thanks to all that have replied and helped.

    Besttechie, perhaps this tip could be incorporated into the tutorial.

    If I want to use the domain name from no-ip as a webserver/site it's still unusable for all practical purposes as I cannot point it to a folder.

    How do I point the domain to 192.168.1.100 instead of 192.168.1.1?

    Something to do with the router or computer? I'm using Win me.

    >> Also, if you go to your web browser and type in the address bar: ftp://192.168.1.100:21 - a dialog box will appear asking for username and password, once the server is running correctly if it isn't, then you will get an unable to connect message.

    This is the message I get from Opera

    Could not connect to FTP server, possibly because of too many users. Please try again later.

    You tried to access the address ftp://192.168.1.100:21/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

    Edit:

    Forwarded port 21 again and my browser was able to access it once only. The access shows in EFTP log. Still unable to access from filezilla client or again from the browser.

    Port 21 has been forwarded on my Huawei router for both TCP and UDP.

    Is TCP/UDP correct?

    Why does the 192.168.1.1 page come on in my browser? Doesn't that mean it's accessing 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.100?

    And why is the error message the same even if the server software is shut down?

    The response that comes is this

    Response: 220 FTP Server (Version 1.0) ready.

    it should be "welcome to bla bla"

    Thanks for an excellent tutorial!

    Edit:

    I port forwarded port 21 in to port 21 in my routers config as "Redirect"

    Hi All,

    Found an excellent tutorial on how to setup a FTP server from the networking section here and followed it to the T.

    I signed up with dyndns.com and no-ip.com and registered a couple of domains.

    When I enter the domain names in my browser, my modem page comes up(192.168.1.1), but my internal address is set to 192.168.1.100.

    I'm using Encrypted ftp as recommended. When I start a ftp client and point it to my domains, it doesn't connect, this is the message I get whether the server is on or not :blink:

    Status: Connecting to xyz1.ath.cx ...

    Status: Connected with xyz1.ath.cx. Waiting for welcome message...

    Response: 220 FTP Server (Version 1.0) ready.

    Command: USER Any

    Response: 331 User name okay, need password.

    Command: PASS ********

    Response: 530 Not logged in.

    Error: Unable to connect!

    All help will be gratefully appreciated.
