I have my ftp behind a linksys router. I seem to have every setting correct. The client connects password and username are confirmed then when the server goes /pasv. The client is disconnected from the router.

I have experimented with different server and client programs. All with the same result. I normally use the Quick and Easy 2.7.1 and would like to keep doing so.

Does anyone know of a security setting on the router that would cause it to boot the client after the mode switches?

Did you configure the server using the setup wizard?

Did you read these instructions?

OH yes. I have done all of that. Like I said the server and client connect.

Here is the log

The client software just gets kicked. It never gets a list of directories

Here are a few tips:
1. You did not correctly setup passive mode.
Please make sure the PASV mode ip address is correctly setup if you want users outside your local network to be able to connect to your server.
2. Do not use PASV mode if you connect from your local network, turn passive mode off in your FTP client.
3. The server does not kick you off, it just doesn't create the data the connection because you did not configure it correctly.
4. Since you are using a router select 'Get ip address from remote server'
You have either selected 'Default' or '192.168.1.1', this will not work if your PC is on a LAN.
5. Did you forward all FTP related ports on your router?

For more information read the help file, other related topics on the forum and the FAQ.

well taking the clients out of pasv mode worked. I am semi confused why. I thought since I was behind a router with the ports forwarded they would have to be set pasv.

But thanks for helping me out. I like the new lite 3.0. Your software is very user friendly. I see the pro version you can control download speed. What speeds are the lite version set at?

[admin]

It's always difficult to explain the PASV vs. PORT mode.
If you want to know more about it go to:
http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html for a definitive explanation.

The lite version download/upload speed is set to unlimited.
