      Hi Need some help,

      Information
      SG3100 runing latest build
      FTP server is running externally, 3rd party software failing to connect to the FTP server via CMD method.

      Have a client who needs to connect out to an a FTP server, since swapping from watchguard to pfsense. Its stopped working since the change. They have some 3rd party software that relies on it.

      I tried the same commands from other none pfsense firewalls and it works fine (sonicwall, juniper, draytek). I tried from multiple PFsense firewalls and its blocked. All rules say LAN - WAN allow all, so i dont know why its not working.

      Issue seems related to pfsense, we are on the latest build. Its an SG3100.

      Willing to pay $100 for the fix, as i dont have the time to deal with it.

          @eblaster101 : to be clear :

          The FTP client - a windows device - is situation on a some LAN network behind a SG-3100.
          The FTP server is situated some where on the Internet .

          Is the server using passif or actif mode ?
          Take note : microsoft windows command line ftp passive mode

          Example : I did mange to logging into a FTP server on a dedicated server I own - "some where" on the net. But, as you, after the logging nothing worked.

          Then I entered the IP, user and password into my FTP client program : SmartFTP and I could log in, upload, download etc. My FTP server was using the Passif mode.

          Btw : I'm using a plain vanilla pfSense 2.4.4-p3. I've NOT installed the FTP Proxy package.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            Hi yes everything you said is correct. It works via filezilla or any other ftp client just not windows.
            I managed to fix it by installing ftp proxy.
