FTP troubles

[HypnoTek]

Ok... I have been trying to setup my ftp server now for a couple of days but I cant quite seem to get it up and running right. Here is the hardware and software I am using.

Linksys wireless-g router.
Serv-U (ftp server program)
FlashFXP (ftp program used to login)

I have been having trouble setting this thing up for some time now... I setup port forwarding on ports 21 and 1984 and PASV ports 5000-5010 I am using a domain name that I got through DynDNS.com

It is hypnotek.dynalias.com

If anyone knows about this stuff and is willing to walk me through it I would greatly apriciate it. It lets me login and accepts the password then boots me off in one second. Saying connection timed out (connection closed). Do I need to setup port triggering or anything? I dont know where to go to understand this better.

Please post the entire message that you receive when it boots you, or better yet the entire connection log.

It's a common problem for running FTP servers behind NAT. Your server is probably responding with it's internal IP address when entering passive mode.

The linksys should have a feature to fix this, but I'm not that familiar with those things.

The problem is right here...

150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

I am assuming that this is where the client is asking which passive ports it wants to be assigned to. From what the article above seems to portray. Now I set my PASV ports from 2000-2010 both on port forwarding on my router and on Serv-U. Still no data connection is established.

Problem solved.

Completely un-installed Serv-U and re-installed it. Ran through setup again and it worked. For some reason I think there was a problem with the app. Thanks for everyones help. I apriciate it.
