      Hello

      Didn't work for me.

      Pfsense upgraded to 2.2.0 last week with FTP client proxy package. Can't back 2.1.5

      Testing FTP client to FTP passive server : ko

      In french

      C:>ftp *****
      Connecté à *****
      220 ***** Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
      Utilisateur ****:(none)) : ABCD
      331 Password required for ABCD.
      Mot de passe :
      230-Bienvenue sur le serveur FTP ****. < Welcome message
      230 User ABCD logged in.
      ftp> quote pasv
      227 Entering Passive Mode (*****,8,181).
      ftp> lcd commandes
      commandes: F
      ftp> put **.zzz
      Connexion fermée par l'hôte distant. < error message, connexion closed by host

      FTP client proxy config :

      Proxy Enabled
      Local Interface LAN
      Proxy Bypass Source: my LAN ip
      Proxy Bypass Destination : FTP Server WAN IP
      Log actived

      Rules LAN to WAN :
      all port and protocol open from my source to FTP server
      no NAT, no WAN to LAN rules for FTP.

      I can't connect in activ mode, it's not my FTP server

      tx

        @Fourbe:

        Proxy Bypass Destination : FTP Server WAN IP

        Eeeeeeh? That is the PC you are testing from? And the FTP server you are testing? Kindly remove the bypass nonsense you configured there - you made the package useless since the traffic does not go through the proxy at all.

        @Fourbe:

        I can't connect in activ mode, it's not my FTP server

        What? Huh? You are not testing active FTP at all.

        
        ftp> quote pasv
        227 Entering Passive Mode (*****,8,181).
        
        

        Also, if that CLI client is ftp.exe from Windows, it does not support passive mode at all. So, why are you entering the above commands goes completely beyond me.

        Overall, you seem to be completely confused. The goal of the package is to make active FTP working from clients behind pfSense. For passive FTP, you do not need the package at all. And you cannot use passive mode with the retarded Windows client.

          Tx.
          I know ftp.exe is retarded :'(

          The software editor provided a .vbs script does this.

          Working in PFsense 2.1.5 with Rules Lan to Wan :
          All TCP from 'ftp.exe on software server' to tcp port 21 FTP-IP public (ftp.****.org)

          Today, didn't work on PFSense 2.2 with Rules lan to Wan :
          All TCP from 'ftp.exe on software server' to All TCP FTP-IP public (ftp.****.org)

          I've try to use another ftp client (winscp) working in command line but that script make a loop at starting winscp (1000 process)

          Put working in WinSCP :(
          Working on other soft (Filezilla….)

          sorry for my english, French's School are bad

            1/ Fix the FTP proxy configuration removing the bypass stuff you got there.
            2/ Fix the VBS script do that it does NOT try PASV when it's not supported at all by the client.

                MS FTP "client" plus MS FTP "server" -> unusable junk. Get something usable, like http://www.ncftp.com/download/
