Iam trying to connect to my ReadyNAS Duo v1 with filezilla, see the attached screen shots. I am using the admin log in and password. It appears to be connecting ok but will not get a directory listing.

If an ftp connection fails t this point is because of the data connection can't be established, either as an active connection, or as a passive connection. Have tried both? Possible cause could be an undefined firewall config on this Linux system for example.


If there are other routers or security appliances in the data path, again possibly a firewall issue. Reason: an FTP-ALG typically in place can't see and analyze the encrypted ftp-conrol connection. The FTP-data ports need to be allowed by the firewall, and NAT-forwarded in case there is NAT in place.


On a side note (when I have it right the Duo has only one network adapter so this does not apply): There is a Kernel control that does enforce the TCP/IP stack to use the same interface for the return traffic. This is essential when there are multiple interfaces are connected to the same IP subnet - it can happen that the return traffic does go out over a different interface. This was fine as long as no stateful firewalls are in the play. But a stateful firewall would block this kind of return traffic.


A file will remain in the transfer queue if you disconnect the client. When you restart your machine, right click on the file to resume and you will be offered the choice of overwrite or resume (and a couple of others). Choose resume and off you go!


To resume downloading after disconnected, open Filezilla ftp interface, just drag the file from the source to the right side over the one you wanna resume, it will ask to overwrite, select resume and click ok


Overwrite file if source file newer: Overwrite the file in the destination if the file being transferred is time-stamped with a later date/time. Note: the date and time on local and remote machines need to be synchronised in order for this to work correctly. If they differ, ensure that you configure the server time offset before transferring files. See Configure server time offset.


Overwrite file if size differs or source file is newer: This is a combination of the previous two options. The destination file will be overwritten if there is a size difference between it and the file being transferred, or if the file being transferred is time-stamped with a later date/time.


Note: the date and time on local and remote machines need to be synchronised in order for this to work correctly. If they differ, ensure that you configure the server time offset before transferring files. See Configure server time offset.


Resume file transfer: Assume that a previous file transfer was stopped mid-transfer, and continue transferring the file. This option is particularly useful when large files are being transferred or the connection is slow or unreliable.


Definitely you can resume a filezilla download. The file will be saved on the download queue. You can restart the queue on your next login. This won't hamper your file; the queue will carry forward from that location.


As others have said it's possible to resume downloads with FileZilla. What they haven't said, however, is that you won't automatically be prompted to resume your download(s) when you launch the program (at least in OSX).


You'll need to reconnect to the server and attempt to download the file you partially downloaded before. You will then see the list of options among which "Resume" will be. Select that and your download will begin where it previously. left off.


I can consistently connect with putty, I can conssistently connect with chrome or IE however filezilla seems hit or miss. Sometimes rebooting the switch helps. Sometimes closing and reopening filezilla helps. ANy special settings in filezilla? I ftp to things every day from many vendors - this is the first time I've hit a glitch with filezilla.


HI my web host is using TSL 1.2 and I am unable to publish normally using rapidweaver. They suggested using filezilla. I have got filezilla up and running and I know this is a stupid question for most but where do I find my rapidweaver files, in my case public_html?


Instead of publishing directly to your web sever, you need to use the File --> Export command to create the actual HTML files you need. When you publish, RW creates these files in a temporary location and then uploads them to your server.


I have copied in a totally new public_html folder with the current rapidweaver files into filezilla but when I look at the site there is still the old menu trying to link to pages that no longer exist. Is this something I should take up with my web host provider?


Thank you for your time Don. I contacted my web hosting provider and hey suggested clearing my cache. I cleared my history and the newly published website came up properly. I am such a hack. I am all self taught and very much a newbie. It has been a steep learning curve these past few days. Again, thanks


FileZilla then comes in when you want to move those exported local files up to the server manually - instead of having RapidWeaver do that for you automatically - presumably because of the limitations with your host.


Having made sure that you have backups of your RapidWeaver project (and perhaps even its local export) files, you will want to tell FileZilla to overwrite the existing files in the public_html directory/folder on the server so that what you upload replaces the earlier files which you do not want. You can also probably use the FileZilla ftp software to list and delete files before you begin your upload(s). Though be careful when doing this, as there will be no recovery of files which you may have deleted by accident.


I wanted to use FileZilla FTP in order to save snapshots from a webcam in an external network. I have set up FileZilla on a server (lets say 192.168.100.10) with custom ftp ports (59000 for FTP and 59001 for passive mode), configured the server's firewall to allow traffic on port 59000 and 59001 and set up the camera. Everything worked in my internal network and the camera saved the jpg files into my FTP folder.


I then created a DNAT rule in my UTM, as I have done plenty of times with different services before, and let it create a firewall rule for me. Coming from any, ports begin source 1:65535 to destination port 59000:59001 and my external destination adress (lets say 100.10.10.100) and changed the target to 192.168.100.10


I then added the webcam to an external network, changed the ftp adress from internal 192.168.100.10 to external 100.10.10.100. It can log into the FTP server, but it can not edit files. It starts a session, goes into the directory and has access, creates a 0kb jpg file and then times out. This does not happen from an internal network which leads me to believe it has to do with my UTM and im seriously lost. I found another person making a guide on how to set up Filezilla behind a UTM and creating the DNAT rule with an auto firewall rule is the only thing he does as well. I also tried disabling the server's firewall completely, giving all users full file and folder access and changing the ports in my firewall, filezilla and UTM back to 20/21. Doesnt change.


We have disabled Intrusion Prevention for other reasons anyways but just to test I took it a step further and also disabled every other feature under Network Protection > Intrusion Prevention. Didn't change a thing. What I'm currently most confused about is which UTM log could help me further troubleshoot my problem? I got my public IP that connects to my FTP as you can already see from the Filezilla log, but I don't find any connection from this IP in my firewall log, intrusion prevention log (obviously) or web filter log.


Normally you should see everything in the firewall log - do you have any automatic firewall rules? Automatic firewall rules are default without logging but you can enable it. Maybe such an automatic firewall rule matched?


No, the UTM is the gateway. I did however let my UTM auto create the firewall rule when creating my DNAT like I said in my opening post, which did not have the logging activated by default, of course... Thanks for the hint. I did activate the logging, found some weird dropped UDP packages and created a firewall rule which allowed traffic from any over any tcp/udp port to any tcp/udp port to my external address. Just for sake of testing. Firewall log then showed all logged traffic rules as green but the behavior on my Filezilla server did not change and remains like the log in the OP.


E: to summarize, my firewall logs coming from my external address are green, but I still deactivated my server's software firewall completely, deactivated every option in my UTM under Intrusion Prevention, created a firewall rule at the very top of my list to allow any source > over and to any TCP/UDP port > to my external DNAT address and internal FTP server definition. FTP helper on or off, doesn't matter. Still won't work and I can't find any reasoning since it does work inside my network if the UTM doesn't interfere. Logs however haven't been useful yet. I will try and use another external internet connection to rule out further problems, but in the meantime I guess I'll read up on what this Sophos FTP Proxy is all about and if implementing it could help.


If you're not seeing drops in the firewall or IPS log, Pete, you have a routing problem, maybe a configuration misunderstanding. Rather than describing your configuration, please inse pictures of the Edits of the firewall and NAT rules.


thanks for further trying to help me! As I already said yesterday I wanted to try recreating the whole configuration and test it through another external network connection. I did exactly that. I still encountered errors in Filezilla, but different ones and I'm not sure what exactly I have done different from before. You guys might be able to relate, but at some point when you are out of ideas you try out so many unrelated options that you don't even know what you tried and what you didn't, what the original configuration was and what wasn't part of it.
