I'm using lftp to connect to a pureftpd server using TLS. I'm behind a firewall so I've used these settings and forwarded a port on my router (4000) to my internal pc ip. I wish to download multiple files using only this port.
set ftp:ssl-force yes set ftp:passive-mode no set ftp:port-ipv4 MYEXTERNALIP set ftp:port-range 4000-4000 set net:max-retries 1 set ftp:ssl-protect-data yes However after downloading one file successfully I have to wait 1 minute to download another successfully otherwise I get these errors. <--- 425 Could not open data connection to port 4000: Cannot assign requested address This plays havoc with attempting to mirror a directory. Can anyone help a newbie with this? I don't wish to wait a minute to download each file! Can I do this with only one port 4000 open? BTW I've manually compiled lftp v3.5.6 on debian sarge using libraries GnuTLS 1.0.16, zlib 1.2.2 Kind regards, Rick P.S.
