Currently I setup a FTP server at home behind a Linksys router. I enabled port forwarding 20-21 to my server system. I asked 12 friends to logon to my server, and 10 of them got it inside. At the beginning, I thought it was their problem, because they might behind a firewall. Today is my first time trying to login to FTP server from work. I am using CuteFTP 4.2 and below is my LOG. I can't login to my home server. However, I can connect to other people server. That's why I am confused. I tried SmartFTP, EFTP and CuteFTP to get onto my home server at work, but all of them failed on me. Weird thing happened, when I use America Online 7.0 and use their FTP feature, I can login! I am hoping if anyone got any idea on what's going on. Thanks for reading my post! :)

by the way, my passive mode in CuteFTP is enabled and I am using AT&T Cable Broadband at home.

<< Try PORT instead of PASV mode. >>



Tried already. I disabled PASV mode and set port to 21. It is not working.
