"Socket error = #10061" Upon trying to connect to ftp...

[Jugernot]

My girlfriend and I both have broadband routers (she just got hers) and now when I try to login to her ftp I get a Socket error = #10061 message and it won't let me in.... I can login in from any other computer that isn't going through my router though.

She has port 9040 opened for her ftp, but do I need to open a port on my router? I wouldn't think so, but then again I haven't been able to fix this yet either...

Here is hte complete login info I get through Cuteftp:

STATUS:> Connected. Authenticating...
COMMAND:> USER *******
331 User name okay, need password.
COMMAND:> PASS *****
230 User logged in, proceed.
STATUS:> Login successful.

Is there a fire wall installed anywhere?

 

[Jugernot]

Well yah.... we both have broadband router which are also firewalls.

Does everything else work? Browsing, pinging, mail, ftp to other sites, etc? What OS?

 

[Jugernot]

Yep, everything works on her end. But, I'm not able to gain access to her ftp (whereas before when she used Zone Alarm I could). The login and pass are correct as you can see above, but the I get the #10061 socket error.

So to sum up again, we both have broadband routers. I cannot access my girlfriends ftp because it gives me a 10061 error through cuteftp.

ANy ideas?

I have a Linksys Router, and had initial problems running an ftp server through it. You have to have a server that can assign your router's WAN IP to passive mode, and then restrict the ports the server uses during passive mode. Forward those ports on the Linksys. Also don't use DHCP on the router. Serv-U and Bulletproof are two programs that have this ability.
