Filezilla failed to create listen socket on port 22
With ftp there is a control channel connection and a data channel connection. Which via your outbound rules would be allowed without any problem. You can see above in the PASV command and then the server sends me the IP and port to connect too. Status:ĝirectory listing of "/aspnet_client" successful Response:Ē57 "/aspnet_client" is current directory. Status: Retrieving directory listing of "/aspnet_client".

This would use port 21 for the control channel Status: Resolving address of If you can not connect to the server for some reason a block upstream? Those are the default any any rule - all traffic would be allowed. In the port command you see 23,116 which is the port in this session of 6004 (23x256+116)Īs mentioned by I would move away from ftp be it using ftps or ftpes or your lan rules are not the problem. But as you can see that is not related to the control channel connection And I don't have the active ports forwarded by hand. It won't work because the ftp active helper can not open the port on pfsense for the connection from the server to client in active mode. And while I have my client set to send the correct public IP. Just to be complete in this write up - I set mode to active. But such a rule does not allow the control channel port. Your 1024-65k rule should be fine for that. If you have your outbound rules locked down - you would have to allow for the control channel port your wanting to use 21, or 990, and then for the data connection port using passive which really could be anything. What are the rules you have on your interface in pfsense where you test client is that your using test connection with? Mine is on lan with default any any rule. If you use implicit mode it would be port 990, still outside that 1024-65k range. That doesn't include port 21 ) which is what ftps in explicit mode would use Not sure what ports you have open, the default lan is any rule. I just tested this - and works just fine here. Pfsense can not see what port to open inbound.īut that would not be the error your seeing. Problem when you encrypt the data channel and want to use active mode. (ftps) which uses port 990 if in implicit mode. That might be why the Linux boxes don't want to connect.Sftp is not the same as ftp over tls. Have you tried to use both Active and Passive mode from the client? Since you have the higher ports opened for Passive, I'd try to use that mode to get through the NAT. Then see if you can access it without any odd behavior. You may also want to try turning on the WinXP firewall and connecting the box directly to the internet, bypassing the NAT box (careful though!). Also I'm going to try to login tonight from a cable connection behind a Linksys NAT box. I'm out of ideas at the moment, but will keep thinking about this. Also, notice that the connection is failing after the PORT command. The fact that you connect fine on dial-up may further hint in this direction. I know I've had some difficulty making FTP work on a single NAT box, and when going from the NAT box to another server behind a Checkpoint also NAT'ing and if your brother in Chicago is also behind a NAT firewall, that might cause problems. This may have something to do with FTP going through one or more NAT boxes. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?
#Filezilla failed to create listen socket on port 22 software#
All this is to no avail, as any FTP server software I use still complains that port 21 is already in use. I uninstalled all of my FTP software, rebooted multiple times, ran a virus scan to make sure there were no trojans using port 21 (McAfee came up clean), for good measure I ran Ad-Aware and Spybot, and even installed network monitoring software, which reports that port 21 is listening and is not in use. However, it worked fine for more than day before this issue developed. For the record, this FTP server is behind a NAT router using an internal IP address. I tried various other FTP server software, and they all gave the same error when I actually tried to put the server online they claimed that port 21 was already in use. It kept saying that software on my host machine had ended the connection. It worked fine for awhile but suddenly I found that no one could connect to the server. I set up an FTP server a few days ago (Cerberus FTP Server).
