Lan network ftp server

leap

Junior Member
Hello,



Im trying to establih connection between two pc-s in lan connection.
Wan connection isnt available(isp cant provide it ).

I pluged 2 pc in lan port, im using netgear ruter.
I can ping both pc within lan but i cant reach ftp server. -reason : connection to remote host closed" . I had both pcs pluged on my home network( isp ) and ftp worked. I already turn of firewall of router.

Wondering if i can setup like this.

-router
-2 pcs ( 1 pc with FTP )
router is only pluged in electricity, and 2 utp cables wich connects two pcs.


Tnx for help
 
First thing I would check is Window's build in firewall.

There is no reason you can't run ftp over a lan. Though if you are on a LAN there are better options like Windows file sharing.

If you run "netstat -ano | find "0.0.0.0:21" on the computer with the ftp server running you should get a response that says LISTENING.

On the client computer you can open a console and type "ftp <the server IP>" and you should get some response like "Connected to <the server IP> 220-FileZilla Server version .... etc" Depending on which ftp server you are using.
 
Hello,

I would like to say tnx for your fast response.
I will try this tommorow.

I tought it must be something on router.
Becouse when i change router -when i plug in innboxv50, it work.
Active( cmd ) ftp and passive( http) ftp works


-After changing router( netgear) ftp is unreachable.

I set netgear as Router nat is enabled and dhcp too. Firewall disabled.

im using iis on win 7

Tnx for help
