Ftp does not work in v2 beta4 8.sept.2010
-
Ftp broken for me as well, 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Wed Sep 15 09:00:44 EDT 2010 snapshot. Active mode ftp doesn't work at all. Passive mode hangs on data connection but I can make it work by using a command line ftp client if I interrupt the first dir listing that hangs with ctrl-c and by typing dir <enter>again.</enter>

Thanks for response and workaround, but since some other, not "that advanced users" are "beta-testers" for this setup too, i would like to have ftp (at least in passive mode) working with (at least) IE and Firefox.
I thought about updating to latest snapshot for testing, but since you confirmed, ftp not usable in actual build, i will not.Thanks again
Sincerely
Schnulch -
I am having FTP trouble as well.
I have a couple of FTP servers on OPT1 bridged to WAN, a setup that worked without problems with 1.2.3 in either passive or active mode, now testing pfsense 2.0 (snapshot form 13th Sep 2010) and my FTP servers are only useable after I manually assign a passive port range in the server and allow the port range on the firewall.
TFTP helper enabled or disabled on the firewall interfaces didn't seem to make a difference.
-
Thanks for the input,
I get an Error 425 cannot open data connection when trying to access ftp sites with Firefox.
anybody else?
Thanks
Sincerely

I believe the 17th Sep snapshot also suffers from this problem, although it appears to be intermittent for me.
-
Are there any news regarding this issue?
The mentioned workaround is not suitable for most of my desktop users here…
(yes, I know, V2 is beta, but my boss asked me to install it...)

Can people stop thinking the TFTP helper has ANYTHING to do with FTP? ::)
FTP clients and servers behind pfSense is a crapshoot. Most of the permutations simply don't work, even on the most recent snapshots. It must not be an easy fix, as people have complained about FTP for months now.
-
State the permutations that do not work, that IMO is hard work.
-
Surveying the multiple topics on this issue would be a start.
-
At the moment on recent snapshots I haven't had any problems with FTP. I did for a while but then at a certain point a couple weeks ago they cleared up and it has been fine.
So I wouldn't really call it a "crapshoot" on current snapshots without stating exactly what does not work. There may be threads out there that are from old snapshots so the data is stale. Someone needs to try/retest a bunch of different FTP scenarios and give some solid feedback from the current codebase.

Hello World!
