FTP issue specific to Pfsense 500

eblaster101

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.

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.
