<![CDATA[FTP drops]]>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.

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.

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.
