FTP drops

wewillsee

Hello,

I need help with FTP server behind pfSense.

I have set it up as per this post:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=15811.0

Everythig seemed fine. However everything works but the file transfer itself… It disconnects during the transfer (1-20 seconds after the transfer begins). If the file is small - it might transfer fine.

Nothing in the FTP server logs. Works fine on the LAN.

Please any hints or ideas how to check what's happaning in the PFSense? Why is it breaking the connection?

Try a tcpdump on wan and lan to see what happens.

Do you mean on the PFSense box? How would I do this? I tried using Command under Diagnostics. It killed PFSense… I had to do hard reset.

for example:

tcpdump -ni wan_interface_name_eg_em0 host external_ip_address
