One d-link router, 2 machines each w/ftp site
|
|
| Monte Grant 2004-02-11, 2:36 pm |
| Can this be done? I'm a bit new at this. I have opened ports 21/20 for
active ftp site on one XP machine. I have a networked (d-link) 2k pro
machine that I need to run a separate ftp on.
Since I'm not running server, I get only one ftp per os. Are there port
options with ftp? Any way I might be able to get both sites to work through
one router?
I assume I can't specify ports the way its done with http? ftp://

| Don't quite get you. 'port options' ? you use virtual directory instead of
many ftp sites. And IIS5.1 only support one active ftp site at any time.
before you try anything on remote host, test locally first.
a) ftp.exe localhost, then test
b) ftp://localhost:xx/, with IE
if both working then try remote testing.
port 21/20 used by active mode, for passive mode you
need different range. refer this kb.

for W2kSP4 and Win2003, you can customize the passiveportrange,
then unblock it at your router, for XP, I don't think you have this option.

First, yes you can use different ports in FTP. Your router will need
to port forward to two separate systems for the ports, but that's a
router issue, not an FTP one. Third party FTP products will allow
multiple sites and multiple IP addresses, though again, your router
will need to be configured correctly.

| I understand how to forward. I just can't get the ftp port specification to
work. I tried port 200 but cannot connect.
On the other machine I use the default 21. I read that both 20 and 21
should both be reserved. Does it matter how many ports I open and what they
are?

Are you trying from Internet Explorer or a command line? And what
does "cannot connect" mean? Passive mode enabled?

FTP needs port 20 and 21, plus a random port above 1024 once the
connection is established. But it should work fine configured for
other ports as well, provided the client provides the port on the OPEN
command.

| Well it seems to be working now, but unlike the xp site, I cannot get the
account to be able to write, though "write" is checked in properties for the
default ftp site. The account on the 2k machine is set up as a User
I also just discovered that the account used to access the xp machine is a
member of Users and Administrators. So anyone with the Visitor account who
can get passed the firewall is into the system.
If I can ask, what security settings will allow ftp visitors to write files
and create directories, while providing maximum security?
