serv-u ftp server 6.0

gamer · #1 Feb 15, 2005, 04:43 PM

I'm havin a problem with client connect
with Serv-U 6.0. Some clients can connect others can't? Also I've been
e-mailing serv-u for support and they said my passive port is being
blocked by something what I dont know. Tried Norton settings, zone alarm,
allow internet, port forward on the router, changed ports on the router,
could'nt connect at all and yes also changed ports for serv-u software
while doing this,can you help me out here been wotking on this for awhile now.And I'm on my extended trial don't want to buy if I cant get it to work. I connected using my neighbors pc (netzero) with no problem my friend also has netzero he could not? also a friend with cable(comcast) could not?
Users have treid disabling firewalls also xp firewall and myself.
Now using port 21-21 ftp---22-31 for passive, got new message this time(Instant "FTP session was terminated).

Zone alarm personel
winxp pro
Serv-u 6.0
linksys 4 port router befsr41

Go to https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and have it do a portscan of "all service ports."

Make sure your FTP port is open...

Sounds almost the same set-up with no problems reported here. Could it possibly be the client?

thats my next try. I tried everything

All the ports you mentioned, even the passive ones, are forwarded right? All of them are also allowed by zonealarm too? What error message appears for the users that it doesn't work for? Options, Try turning off ZA and see if it works. Try setting the server as DMZ and see if it works. If either of the two work, it will tell you which is blocking the comunication. Make sure the Client also turns passive on his FTP software or they will connect but they won't see any files.

yes i have dmz enabled also ports forwarded tried diff ports also, now back to original ports 20-21, like so

serv-u 20-21
pasv 2000- 2010

dmz
disable winxp firewall
upgraded zonealarm will have to further check that out. All i see is local net admin. none for wan.

(message says; cant access file or folder be sure you have permission to access files and file name is correct?)

check all settings for users and the are enabled for Dir and download rw so-on.

Sigh...

Running an ftp server under win xp == more trouble than it's worth

You need to take a look at your firewall logs (on the router), and see what's getting dropped. Can you connect (both passive and active FTP) from another machine on your LAN?

gamer · Mar 12, 2005, 05:07 PM

yea my lan has no prob on all 3 pc's? I'm gonna give this 1 more try i have only 4 days left for trial period, already extened <:0 so i gotta do or die it's been a challenge though, learned alot but not enough it seems. gonna try another software if not to bad love this software, ahh who am i kidding i'm not givin up!!!. anymore help would be greatly apreciated.
