Quoting D Bhardwaj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I wanted to get this to work with native windows 2ks first, maybe play with linux version later. Right now I have IIS/FTP configured- I think, and also virtual server ftp enabled on the router. However, when testing, it keeps coming up with 'this document contains no data'...
FTP will only work in passive mode through a NAT firewall. I am not sure how well ftp works when the server is NAT'd though, I had problems with this so Isimply switched to sftp. This was several years ago. FTP has many issues with NAT connections and I suspect this is where the problem is. Check to make sure
that your ftp client supports passive mode and that it is enabled. Other than that all I can really suggest is to use a different protocal. SSH is useful regardless of the OS. Any windows box that I manage has cygwin installed simply because of the usefullness of bash, ssh, stunnel, rsync, and now unison, which is an awsome app btw. Cheers,
any help is welcome.

The easiest option I have found is ssh. With linux it is a no brainer. Fo=
r=20
windows there is a package called cygwin (www.cygwin.com). This package is=
a=20
collection of linux/unix software for windows, including a fully functional=

ssh server. There are lots of nice gui sftp (one form of file transfer ove=
r=20
ssh) clients for both *Nix and windows. Behaves similar to ftp but nothing=
=20
is transmitted in the clear. Other options abound, some of my favorites ar=
e=20
rdp (for windows to windows) and rsync.
The following is a port forwarding for commonly used transfer protocalls
port service
80 web
20 ftp
21 ftp=20
22 ssh/scp/sftp
443 web-ssl
873 rsync
3389 rdp (remote desktop)
Depending on the router, ftp may or may not work through a router. This is=
a=20
really short answer to a moderately complicated issue.
Hope this helps
