| Hi all,
Have a client facing FTP that we've just configured and so far so good, except that our clients are all having to change their settings to not use passive mode. Many of the clients are using IE6 or IE7 to connect to the site and this is starting to become a headache with as many clients as we have.
Here is an example of the error I'm getting when connecting using passive mode:
Status:Resolving address of files.domain.ca
Status:Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21...
Status:Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:220-files.domain.ca X2 WS_FTP Server 6.1(21433365)

Command:PWD
Response:257 "/" is current directory
Command:TYPE I
Response:200 Transfer mode set to BINARY
Command:PASV
Error:Disconnected from server: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted
Error:Failed to retrieve directory listing
I get similar errors regardless of the end user client, and so far as I know have set up the ports correctly in the firewall.
I've installed FileZilla server on a test PC and set up the exact same forwarding and it works fine with passive mode, but I'm not really looking to move to that app.
In WS_FTP Server, Firewall - Passive connection settings, it has the Public IP listed and is listening on ports 5701-5900.
This is also the range I set up in the firewall as TCP port range.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

| Remove the external IP from the firewall settings in WS_FTP Server. Restart the services then test.
