FTP - access from external network

Hello, 

can you advise me with acces to FTP?

There is not problem when I connect to FTP from local network (IP 192....) but if I want to connect to FTP via internet it is not possible. I read and set router according to guide (   http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/ProFTPd  ) but still it is not working.

I use firmware from kong - DD-WRT BETA svn 14584 with Samba3 for WNR3500L

Thank you

Hi cz_coxx,

Hi cz_coxx,

I have just tested remote access. Once you run:

/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 21 -j logaccept

it should work. What FTP Client are you using?
Have you tested using filezilla: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/filezilla_portable

You should also check if the directory you specified in ProFTPD Settings has the correct permissions to allow it to read from it.

Hi, 

Hi, 

I tested your command and now it works great. 

Permissions was correct, there was problem with IPTABLES 

 

Thank you
