FTP Server (passive mode) connection - 3G

Post by gone15 »

I recently found that andftp wasnt working with my ftp site but was working from all other computers inside and outside of my network. I use filezilla server on my computer. However it wasnt working with with andftp while i was connected via my cell service and I couldnt figure out why. One of the developers from Lysesoft discovered that I might of had my passive ftp settings wrong in my filezilla server settings and it turned out that was the problem. Instead of using my internal ip address in the passive mode settings use the following ip address, I needed to use the retrieve external ip address from option with the address already listed (http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php) once I made that change I was able to connect to my ftp site with no problems via my cell connection.

Hope this helps someone else one day.
