Best Ftp-server ?

[IB]

.unicorn..thanks for your replay

This I have done:
I have set up Serv-U to "listen" to port 27315 and set the pasv range to 27306 - 27314. In my router, I have "forwarded" port range 27306 - 27315 to the destination of the local IP where Serv-U resides. My friends use FlashFXP to connect but....you know the answer..

There is something strange with the "list-command", I guess I´m not the first struggling with this problem...right!

Take Care

No, you are not the first one.
You can't have a pasv port range that small. Or maybe you can, I just have never heard of anyone aiming for such a small range. Right now I'm not able to say if there is anything prohibiting it. Maybe your friends client doesn't know your server allowing theese few ports only?
Is your friend behind a router too? That often causes mighty problems and I haven't always been able to connect during such circumstances.
You have to dig deeper into this. You might get some help from steelbytes who used to make small tools for situations like this. He is a nice guy to be find at h**p://www.steelbytes.com/

well,

I prefer Serv-u - I find it's easier to make changes and add things as you need them. You can also have multiple domains depending on the individul axx you want to give.

with bullet proof you need to make a text file for any virtual drives and such, you also can't have multiple domains. as with Serv-U you do it all right in the prog.

thanks Leech,
I´ve heard that there is a problem with Serv-U and dynamic IP´s, running Serv-U in PASV-mode, You had to run it in PORT-mode to get it up and running....can anyone confirm this...?

Running a Dynamix IP on Serv-U Depends on what you mean. Is it for people who have Dynamic Ip to connecxt to it or you to get connected with a dynamic IP ?

We will start with the with You having a dynamic Ip to get it connected. What you do is use dns2go and it worked great.

With people who have a dynamic Ip to get connected is quite simple. What you need to do is find out what numbers change in their IP address and set it up like so:

Say a person has an IP address of 12.34.567.890 and the last group changes? What you would do is enter the ip axx like 12.34.567.* - The asterick is a search funtion and it will search for any number in the range. or if a peson's last 2 groups change it would be entered as 12.34.*.* when they will be able to connect as well.

As you can see it is quite easy. If you would like to try it and need help contact me and I will help as much as I can.

Depending on what ISP you use will determin whether you need to use passive or not. Serv-U automatically has the option set . So in some cases the individual who wants to connect has to use passive.

Finally....everything works like a charm. What I did...? Yes I did set up Serv-U to use(listen to) the standard PORT 21, forwarded ONLY port 21 in my router and did not setup a passive port range in Serv-U...that´s all.

I guess there is a limitation in the router software/combined with Serv-U/ that not can handle other ports than 21 for ftp, maybe there is a possibility to define "complex" filter rules that can handle other port-range but this might be a new project for next month

Many ISP´s don´t like "private ftp-servers" running in there network so they might supervise this commom port for ftp-ing.

I might mail netgear´s support about this matter

Dude That is great info - Thanx for it.

Serv u is the best ftp server just ask my brother

[M31]

Pig Dog i'm with you Bulletproof beats the rest hands down. Dont worry about fancy options stability is what you need.

[nnuxx]

it's all a question of choosing what uites u better

4 start...
bulletproof is more stable then Serv-U
on d other hand, Serv-U is more easy to setup 4 a 1st time user (even tho BP is NOT hard 2 config )

n the main things that i like to have in a basic ftp server:

_app server_ | _ssl support_ | _statistics_
-------------------------------------------------
_BulletProof_ | _____no____ | __yes__
-------------------------------------------------
__Serv-U___ | _____yes____ | __no___

hope it helps some out
cheers
