Hello,
I have FTP setup on both a linkstation and a terastation that I want to forward to from the outside world. I have dedicated IP addresses that are incoming for my router and I want to get them to forward to the FTP://INTERNALADDRESS. I set it up w/ the settings:
GENERAL:
dstnat
address
ACTION
dst-nat
internal address
port:21
internally, it seems to forward fine. from the outside world, not so much.
is there something I’m doing wrong that I’m not seeing?
you have to in general dst-address and port forward to address and port
do not forget to set bouth ports 20 and 21

These are the settings. What would you change?
THANKS!
Change the To Ports to 0-65535 … this will keep the original port number thru nat.
Also enable the FTP helper under IP → Services. I dont know if adding 20 to the existing helper port 21 helps or not …
Sam
changed the ports on the TO: to 0-65535 like suggested.
nothing.
this picture does not reflect the change, however it does picture the settings involved otherwise.
Are you able to use passive ftp only, or do neither work? are you also allowing them thru the firewall forward chain to the dst-natted address?
Sam
sorry, i do not know how to use the firewall forward chain
where do i set passive ftp?
I tried opening a connecton to 67.53.169.45 and it is not connecting, is this the right IP? Do you have any firewall rules?
Sam
there are no firewall rules
Is 67.53.169.45 your current IP? Check http://ip.ChangeIP.com/ to see if it is. Also, on your dst-nat rule you can remove the destination-address and use in-interface instead, if you only have a single IP … this means if it hits your WAN port it will use the rule.
Sam
We have about 12 IP addresses coming into the router. A lot of the other ones go to servers.
the outside (external) ip is 67.53.169.46
Change the destination-address to the right one then and it should work ! I can open FTP on 67.53.169.46 … but your nat rule showed .45.
Sam
ok. thanks a lot!
so now it works for .46 since that is the external address, but is it possible for it to show up for 45 also? we have that IP availalbe and there are two hard drives i want to FTP to.
Does your router listen on .45? If traffic is hitting the router on both IPs you should be able to use both. Without seeing the /ip addresses printout, and the /ip firewall nat printout I am not sure whats happening.
Sam
Oh. My. Goodness.
Those ip’s were disabled in the router table!
Thank you soooooooooo much for all your help!
