Direction to me in publish FTP server

cutiNEt

Hi all,
I got a trouble with pfsense when publishing a FTP server. I configured a FTP server (using vsftp) in my local network and it's working fine, but when i publish to internet client, it dosent work. For my situation, the FTP server ip is 192.168.1.10, in pfsense i made a rule for that machine, then i configured NAT for that one at port 21, but internet client cannot access to the FTP server. How do I troubleshoot this problem?? I'm new at pfsense so plz tell me more detail about the solution

Thx all with any helping,

ders

Hello,

I had similar problems, the solution on my system was to define the pasv_address in your vsftp.conf.
It is mendatory, that this address is your WAN-IP.
I found a script which put my WAN address in to this config file once a day.
Every night at 2a.m. my PFSense is restarting the wan connection and five munutes later a cron job will run this script.

#!/bin/sh
#vsftpd.conf IP update

vsftpd_conf=/usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf
vsftpd_log=/var/log/vsftpd.log

my_ip=`host your-dyndns-address | cut -f4 -d" "`
vsftpd_ip=`grep pasv_address $vsftpd_conf | cut -f2 -d=`

if [ "$my_ip" != "$vsftpd_ip" ] ; then
( echo ",s/$vsftpd_ip/$my_ip/g" && echo w ) | ed - $vsftpd_conf
echo `date` "$vsftpd_conf updated with $my_ip IP address" >> $vsftpd_log
/etc/rc.d/inetd restart >> $vsftpd_log
