FTP set up help

well I didn't actually match them up but I see ftp packets out of your lan interface re0

11:01:19.581950 IP pool-173-57-104-76.dllstx.fios.verizon.net.62942 > 192.168.1.119.ftp:

So its forwarding the packets.. So if your ftp server is not seeing it, then its not pfsense fault

I posted up the easy thing to do for tcpdump.. So you don't see all that other noise, just ftp. And vs the name resolution you just get IPs

tcpdump -i 4 -n -q port 21

-i 4 or -i 3 is my index of my interfaces - you can use either name or index, I used index.. You can view your index off of tcpdump -D

example

tcpdump -D
1.gif0
2.ovpns1
3.vmx3f0
4.vmx3f1
5.lo0

I can look a bit deeper, but I see packets on your lan interface going to your ftp server on port 21.. But I did not see any response - so that tells me either your ftp server never saw the packets, or he is not answering.

In my lan sniff you see the server answer back
07:08:34.396528 IP 192.168.1.4.21 > 173.236.157.143.19998: tcp 0

I don't see anything coming from ftp back – so its not getting the packets your putting on the lan interface of your pfsense, or its just not listening on 21, or it has a firewall blocking? But clearly you can see from your sniff of your re0 that packets to ftp on 21 were put on the wire. So pfsense did what you told it to do, forward the packets to that IP on its lan interface.
