      Aim running a small ftp server for personal use but I can't get it trough pfsense. I tried searching the wiki page for some help but couldn’t find my answer

      What have I done so far
      ftphelper enabled
      Forward port 21-22 to my server

      running pfsense 1.2-RC2

      Any help is appreciated

          First off, FTP will only work on the primary WAN until someone finishes pftpx-routeto integration. It is also NOT currently working in load balancing situations

          So aim ****** (aim using a dual wan setup)

          guess ill need to set up a sftp server

          thanks for the help

            What i would do:

            1: Disable the ftp-helper on all interfaces.
            2: Define a port-range on your ftp-server for the data-transfer.
            3: forward port 21 and your data-transfer-range to your server. You can do that for each WAN.

            After this you should now be able to access your server from both WANs.
            –> A friend is running his ftp-server like this right now.
