I have been accessing our archive server in California from Hawaii with Metacard. Previously server was set up as a default Red Hat Linux ftp server, wide open to the net for anonymous ftp. Using Andu's scripts worked great. Now we put the server behind a hardware firewall with a Linksys router between the server and the cable modem connection. Unfortunately, Linksys will not support Linux users; only Windows users. After the change, the server works fine for serving HTTP but not for passive FTP connections. It fails, either from within MC or from a web page with ftp links to download files. Here is an example (not real) of the type of link that has stopped working <a href="ftp://ftp.sadhu.org/pub/foobar.PDF">Download Link</a> Anyone have any ideas what ftp or maybe apache settings need to be changed? (email me off list or point me to a forum where these issues are discussed by the "linux/Apache FTP pros" At this point we've tried making changes to the /etc/ftpaccess file such as: pasv-allow all passive address 192.168.1.100 255.0.0.0 passive ports 255.0.0.0 100 100 But no cigar. My MC log file shows this coming back from the server. 230 User htoday logged in. 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,100,144,13) --If I understand it correctly the above is the control socket --my script (andu's...) returns this as the data socket: 192.168.1.100:36877 I next send this command and try to write a path to the new socket write "STOR " & IPath & CRLF to socket Q The server responds with: 200 Type set to I After which the connection closes... Interarchy tells Receive disconnect indication (T_DISCON_IND = 126) on stream 4. Reason = 61 Sequence Number = 0 And the connection attempt is "hung". I should be getting back from the server: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for public_html/whatever/index.html. but we are not...?? any clues?? (email me off list... this is way OT Thanks!)
