Which FTP SERVER app to run behind my Linux box?

[NucleusWDS]

I'll be using a Windows based PC for my FTP services ... but I need to know which is the the best and easiest one to setup so I can run it behind my Linux firewall

Well if you setup a linux firewall you shouldnt have any trouble setting up a win ftp server. Anyways, I recommend ServU ftp, its been stable and great for me. Some people like the Gene6 FTP Server also, and I think its pretty nice although I like ServU more.

I'm having some kind of problem here ...
I used G6 FTP server and Serv-U both work brilliantly if my Windows PC is connected to the internet directly.
However, when I have a my Linux box running, both Serv-U and G6 FTP servers ONLY show the local IP address i.e. (e.g. 192.168.0.25) it doesn't show my true internet IP.

Can anyone help?
I've tried different scripts for port forwarding etc ... but it doesn't seem to work.
When running CuteFTP (client) or BulletFTP (client) it says that it can't connect !?!?!

Please help ... thanks

shouldn't a Linux guru's like you know about this kind of stuff. Actually you need to forward all traffic that goes into port 21 to (internal IP 192.168.0.25) G6 or Serv-U can only internal IP not your Gateway IP.

I did ... I forward all FTP traffic (Port 21) to my internal FTP server. But so nothing?
so what do I do now ?

Can anyone else on the OUTSIDE access your server? What PC are you trying to access it from, there may be a loopback problem.

I've just read ... that I can't access my FTP using an internal masq'ed machine ! ... is that TRUE?

So any volunteers?

here's my FTP address: wds.dyndns.org or 62.252.45.158
try it ... and tell me if you connect

It doesn't do anything.

<< Resolving host: wds.dyndns.org
Resolved host as: 62.252.44.43
Connecting to wds.dyndns.org, Port 21 (#1)
Connected. Waiting for response. >>

DAMN thing !!!

My dynamic IP works with wds.dyndns.org believe it or not ... it resloves my new dynamic IP address everyrime

The only thing is to get this 'BA****D' FTP working on my Windows server !!!

F**K !!!

here's my rules on my Linux box ... they're OK right?

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L (internet IP) 21 -R (internal Windows IP) 21

Why don't you run the FTP server off of the linux box? ProFTPD is a good server and easy to setup.
