Re: Possible to Enable PASSIVE FTP from server side ?


I will close this case in a few days as the result is certain.

Why I had expected so much from the FTPD is that the TEST on different FTP Servers in the same network environment generate different results.

Attached is the ftp logs:

YC2NT.txt --> ftp log into NT server using command line ftp, succeessful,
YC2NT_tool.txt --> ftp log into NT server using ftp tool(auto passive), succeessful,

YC2UX.txt --> ftp log into UNIX server using command line ftp, failed,
YC2UX_tool.txt --> ftp log into UNIX server using ftp tool,which enable passive mode. succeessful,



Thanks Steven and Andrew,

I don't have a good explanation for the
difference, unless there's something in a
firewall somewhere which treats the two
servers differently. (A firewall being the
usual reason for active-mode FTP not
working in the first place.)

The best test for that might be to swap the
IP addresses between the two server systems
(interfaces), but that would probably be too
inconvenient to consider.

the answer is not.
