![]() (The files are /etc/nf, and /etc/proftpd.d/nf ). It was only after working out that there are TWO nf files and reading them that we realised there are these TWO passive port ranges that need to be opened, and we had initially only found one set of port numbers identified in forum posts and opened only those. The home folder access worked remotely on port 21 'out of the box'.īut flexshare and website FTP access via port 2121 would just NOT work, except in FileZilla, and even that didn't work to begin with.Ĭonnecting via FileZilla from a remote client didn't work until we had discovered the obscurely documented requirement to open TWO sets of ports on the router 'return paths' for passive FTP: by default in the ClearOS ProFTP setup, these are 60000-61000 (for port 21 FTP connections to home folders), and 65000-65100 (for port 2121 connections to flexshares). ![]() ** Initial partial solution - open TWO ranges of passive FTP ports on the router None worked fully, or adequately for what we need, and most made no difference to our particular problem. In the course of doing so, I found that many other forum users have a similar question about getting FTP to work in this way, and with help from my colleague we tried all the suggested solutions. We wanted to prototype this using a test server machine at my home, behind a NAT and firewall home router on a dynamic public IP address, referenced by a dynamic DNS domain name. and home directories for a small number of users who want remote access to their files on the theatre server from their home computer, preferably using a Windows Network Place on their home machine.a separate (password protected) website, viewable only by members, running Joomla and extensions.It needs to allow remote FTP access, via Dreamweaver, Windows Explorer or other FTP clients to: I and another volunteer colleague have been going nuts for ten days trying to set up a new ClearOS 5.1 server at my home, which would act as a test site for a replacement server for our local amateur theatre. It seems from other forum posts that others have had similar difficulties in getting inbound external connections to work via FTP, when the ClearOS server is behind a NAT router and firewall. ![]() We have finally worked out a way round what looked at one point like a show stopper. We think ClearOS is a great product, but have had one very bad initial experience which nearly put us off using it at all. I'm the volunteer webmaster of our local amateur theatre. This is my first post on the ClearOS forum.
