The FTP server is on 192.168.2.100
The client machine is 192.168.2.5
The router is a Belkin F5D6231-4.
Under its Virtual Servers, I have:
1. GuildFTP 21-21 (inbound port) 192.168.2.100 (Private port) AND
2. GuildFTP 10000-10500 (inbound port) 192.168.2.100 (Private port)
Under its Application Gateways, I have
1. 10000-10500 (Trigger ports) 10000-10500 (Public ports)
2. 21-21 (Trigger ports) 21 (Public ports)
In GuildFTP options, I have:
NIC: 99
Passive mode: Custom IP (is pressed in) Detect is not pressed in
Real IP address: 72.59.202.102 (changed for my security) DNS is not pressed in.
Port range: 10000-10500
Firewall on machine with server: Windows firewall. Turned off.
Half-working:
When I upload a file, using ncftpput, I get this:
connect failed (errno = 10060.
Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode.
do_dir.bat: 6.00 B 11.30 B/s
It works, but in this odd way. (Turning Windows firewall on-off does NOT change behavior).
I have always used the following syntax VERY successfully in all environments to get files:
ftp://smitphi:62019087@ftp
Now it fails. IE just thinks and thinks and then fails.
Notes:
GuildFTP does show someone connected (when I use the above smitphi command, but no file is downloaded it just times out.
These problems may have begun when I updated to SP3. (windows XP Professional).
When using FIleZilla, I get this:
Response: 257 "/pub" is current directory.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (71,58,213,108,19,138)
Command: TYPE A
Response: 200 Type set to A.
Command: LIST
Response: 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls (1169 bytes).
Error: Transfer channel can't be opened. Reason: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing
Command: REST 0
Response: 425 Can't build data connection.
Response: 350 Restarting at byte offset 0. Send RETR to initiate transfer.
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/pub" is current directory.
I suppose I could uninstall SP3 and see if that fixes it but I need for it to work with SP3 anyways.

Passive mode was not enabled.
Enabling Passive mode on the FTP server fixed all the problems.
