Hi, I've placed some files on a FBSD 6.2 server using the standard ftpd to access them. The content in question is a video clip, but could be anything that I wanted to share with people unknown. I can access the file list with a browser on my internal network - I do this to check that my links are good. But I (or anyone else) can't access these files externally with a browser, but I can access them with ftp itself. Even if I force a 'ftp' (for anon access) login via the browser URL, it stalls. I thought this had worked at one time... (Trembles with uneasy expectation) Here's the URL: ftp://72.40.22.156/incoming/ for anyone who wants to look at it. On a side note, I see lots of rejected log-in attempts in the logs from sites trying to do ftp access with "Administrator". Is there an easy way to allow that? TIA.
It appears to me that you've got some firewall issues, perhaps. Passive FTP connections are failing. You'll need to setup a port range for ftpd to utilize for passive FTP, and allow those connections through your firewall.
