Problem with FTP.
-
Not strange at all. 127.0.0.1 is the ftphelper that dynamically allows traffic at additionally needed ports. Do you have a multiwan setup? Did you try passive or active mode?
Btw, there is really A LOT of discussion going on about FTP at the forum. I hope you have already searched.

The ftp proxy usually does take care of this.

but if i enable the ftp proxy, nobody can access my ftp.

Which is in stark contrast of everyone else that uses it. It works out of the box with it enabled. Check your FTP client settings, etc.

I am actually have a similar issue with the FTP Helper not working. But I need help with this issue. When an coming connection comes in, the client sets everything up but according to the log files the control channel (tcp/20) is blocked. I have WAN, OPT1, OPT2, and LAN setup where everything but LAN is public IPs. Is the issue that I'm not natting the connection and therefore the FTP proxy is not working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

the ftp proxy is to help with nat
don't think it will do somthing if there is no nat -
It's dynamically opening additional ports for the ftp traffic. It's not only helping with NAT.

So does that mean that NAT is needed or not needed for the FTP proxy to work?

Don't want to sound rude but please search the forum. The ftp proxy and how to set it up is REALLY described every few lines throughout the forum.
