FTP has stopped working outside LAN
Posted: 10 Mar 2011, 05:20
Hello,
I am having a similar problem to this; http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f ... &hilit=ftp
My FTP was working (accessed via filezilla or FireFTP) but has just stopped working. I note that I can still FTP from within my network (LAN) and therefore assumed it was to do with the resolution of IP address from outside.
I have ddclient keeping track of my registered domain.
When I try to restart the ftp server I get
but I can confirm that the process does run.
I have tried the following;
Adding all combinations of the following to my proftpd.conf file;
My /etc/hosts looks as such;
Note: I was wondering why it had 192.168.10.1, seeing as my server is at 192.168.2.10, so I tried changing this but to no avail. Any comment here?
I note that when I connect via FTP it does connect and login but just cannot get a response from the server.
When I try to connect via FTP it does connect but just cannot get a response. This is the Filezilla output;
At the moment I am stumped. I am thinking it is something to do with the fact that the ftp server is not receiving the correct / updated IP from ddclient? Not to sure whyit has just stopped working though, pretty sure nothing else has been changed recently.
Any help suggestions, as always, much appreciated.
Regards,
Craig
