9/12 I can't FTP into OCF from behind firewall/router. Can anyone tell
me what's wrong? -stupid newb
\_ block ephemeral port and doesnt understand ftp PORT cmd? --psb
\_ use FTP in passive mode. ftp -p
\_ As the above says, use passive mode. Ftp's normal mode is to
have the server try to connect back to the client so the client
becomes a server of sorts. This attempted connection smacks into
your firewall and thus ftp in it's normal mode fails. Passive
mode doesn't do that so you can ftp from behind firewalls. |
