    Uploading files fails

    I have just installed FTP 7.0 running on my Windows 2008 Server. Created my FTP site OK using a local user account to login using basic authentication.

    The server is sitting in our office. If I connect to the site internally (ftp://10.0.0.7), I am able to connect, see all files published. I can download these files. I can also upload new files.

    If I connect from an external machine (one of our servers sitting in a data centre), connect with the same user as above. I can see all the files published, I can also download any of these files. I am not able to upload new files - and this is why I want the FTP site, to copy files from this particular server into our office.

    The error I get is:

    An error occurred copying a file to the FTP Server. Make sure you have permissions to put files on the server.

    Details:

    200 Type set to I

    227 Entering Passive Mode (212,69,49,141,6,31)

    500 Requested action not taken

    The user I am connecting as does have read/write/list (everything except modify) rights to this folder.

    Any ideas why I can't upload files from an external machine.

    Many thanks

    James

    Hello,

    You could try to change your FTP client settings to use "active mode", not "passive mode".

    Regards

    Make sure if there is a firewall between the external site and this server allows PASV ports. 

    The Active Mode will help determine if the passive ports are the culprit.
