SMC Barricade FTP server data connection error Using Bulletproof FTP server

[WallyKid]

Is anyone having any problems with setting up SMC Barricade port forwarding. Because i am starting to wonder if it is working. I am trying to setup port forwarding for my FTP server on my local IP. But my FTP server kept bombing out when it comes to data connection. I was able to successfully connect to the server, but not the dataconnection part of it. I am using passive mode of client connection...i don't know if there is a place to set for the server side.

Port used is 1101

Are you using the virtual server option on the barricade?

All you have to do is put in the IP of your machine and put the port it uses. Now all traffic coming in on that port will be forwarded to your server.

yes i'm using the virtual server option. And i am using Bulletproof FTP Server. One thing is i have to enable my DMZ host option to even get to the point where the user can log on, but still when it gets the the data connection point, it will fail. i am using the SMC7004BR. I am using XP, and BPFTP doesn't have that option to download XP version, and i downloaded the 2000 version. But i don't think that is the problem. The site's help is not too helpful either.

Try toggling PASV mode on your FTP client software.

if I remeber correctly, you need to foward port 20 as well as 21 because that is the data port for ftps.

I am using port 1101 for initiating communication, which is equivalent to 21, and i did forward 20 as well, since it is the data port. But using PASV mode should not require me to use port 20. It should be using a non priorities port with is 1024 and above. Remember, the user can actually log on...but they are not able to establish data connection. which is usually done by port 20 in active mode.

Anyone?
