I just started trying to figure out how to use WS_FTP Server on my Windows XP machine which is behind a router on my network. My host IP address is 192.168.1.2 (which is the IP address of the machine which connects to my router). After setting up some user names I wanted to test it out. When I tried to connect with PASV on, it connects to the FTP server, but hangs on the "LIST" command. I turn PASV off and it connects completely. However, after connection...if I start to upload (or download) a large file from my machine, it hangs up after a few minutes. The reason it hangs up is because I have my FTP client set to multiple connections to the server and it is receiving a "NOOP" command. Then I tried to set my FTP client to connect with only 1 connection to the server and PASV turned off. I was able to upload 95MB of a 163MB file before it hung on me again. This time I'm not sure what the problem was, but I was not able to resume the upload (received an error).
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong or if I need additional setup. I even put the IP address of my router in the "Firewall" setting of WS_FTP Server, thinking that would help the PASV connection problem...but to no avail! BTW, how important is the host name of the FTP Server? I just put in a random name since I wasn't sure what to put there (in the help it said something about the DNS name server). FYI, I have a Linsys 4-port router on a RoadRunner Cable Modem connection. Thanks for all and any help!
