      A local firewall on the file server with a wrong range?

        Tried turning it completely off and still couldn't connect.

        It looks like smb doesn't work well across subnets.  I'm okay with using FTP instead, but I'm not sure why FTP isn't working either.

          are you having active or passive ftp?

          Maybe you should try to create a rule in opt1
          allow smb traffic from servers to lan subnet

            Whatever Filezilla defaults to.  I didn't mess with any of the settings.

            Maybe you should try to create a rule in opt1
            allow smb traffic from servers to lan subnet

            How would that work?  What ports are you saying I should open?

              Google has the answer. I almost had to find it twice
              few ports and remember to read that tcp/udp 445 also. it's not in the box

                Since the LAN rule allows the traffic to OPT1, I'm assuming you mean I should open the port from the DMZ side.  Do I really need it if I only want access from the LAN to OPT1?

                I just tried opening 445 tcp/udp from the server to the LAN subnet and it doesn't seem to have had any effect.  I still can't connect a windows share.

                I ended up installing CopSSH, and that's working so far, but my transfer speeds are horrible.

                  SMB itself isn't the easiest traffic type to troubleshoot. Thats is the reason why to use opening ports from another interface also. and yes i do know what is the meaning of spi

                    Well, like I said, I opened 445 tcp/udp from the server on OPT1 to LAN and I still can't connect from the LAN.

                    and yes i do know what is the meaning of spi

                    Huh?

                      spi = Stateful firewall should keep ports open some while if connection is from inbound of it.

                      Then i have to admit, i don't have a glue what is the problem on this

                        Me either.  We'll see how things go when I swap out my current box for the new one.

                        Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if sftp wasn't so slow.

                          smb and ftp might need some more knowledge, try to use search. There is lot of discussion already in this forum

                          here is some info regarding SMB i'm in the proccess to allow file share between ubuntu and windows
                          through pfense
                          this might help on the ports to open

                          netbios- ns -137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service
                          netbios- dgm -138/tcp # NETBIOS Datagram Service
                          netbios- ssn -139/tcp # NETBIOS Session Service
                          microsoft-ds -445/tcp #if you are using Active Directory

                          some other ports that might help
                          Ports 389/tcp For LDAP
                          port 445/tcp  NETBOIS was move to 445 after 2000 (CIFS)
                          port 901/tcp for SWAT service (web gui to configure Samba)

                          here is a link that i got most of the info i needed also there is a sample ip table
                          http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/connecting-linux-unix-system-network-attached-storage-device.html
                          i know this doesn't have a sample for pfsense but you can get what rules to create from the ip tables

                          don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!
