Can not connect to FTP from inside SMB network
A very annoying problem: I can not connect to FTP server from inside SMB network.
The server is Small Business R2 2003, and I have turned off all firewalls (on DSL modem, provider, and Server).
Here is FileZilla fragment:
Status: Resolving address of XXX
Status: Connecting to XXX:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------
Response: 220-You are user number 4 of 50 allowed.
Response: 220-Local time is now 13:20. Server port: 21.
Response: 220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
Response: 220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
Response: 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Command: USER XXX
Response: 331 User XXX OK. Password required
Command: PASS *******
Response: 530 Login authentication failed
Error: Could not connect to server
And it won't connect with any of the protocols.
Any ideas?

filezila log says 530 Login authentication failed, Can you please make sure the username and password once again and try login in from command prompt using same password
Make sure whatever username you're using, that they have access to the actual folder itself. So go into Windows Explorer & drill down to the FTP folder. Go to the properties of that folder & make sure the username you're trying to connect with is listed.

subhashchy: yes, Ive thought that might be the problem, but the problem is that the credentials are OK. I am testing for two days now.
wfcraven12: I've just tried to connect to the FTP with my computer (outside LAN), and it worked flawlessly over Internet Explorer. There is also a file on the FTP, and it is listed and dled OK.
I also contacted the hosting company, and they tell me it is all OK from their side.

are you trying to connect to a name (i.e. ftp.company.com) or IP address?

Tried it, it is the same.
what do you mean tried it? what is the same?
ASKER
Tried it with IP address, hostname, checked credentials, etc.
The response inside the network is always that credentials are not ok, but from external machines it works nicely.

that's weird. have you tried using COMPUTERNAME\username for the user while on the internal LAN? It may think you're trying to connect as DOMAIN\username.

I don't think it is that. I try to connect with Filezila and it doesn't workl either form the server or the PCs.
I am really puzzled here, don't have any idea what to do. It is irritating.

Bump!
What could I try? Is there a win service that could block FPT? I really don't get it, as in other locations I have not problems like this one.

Right I understand you're connecting with Filezilla, but did you at least try putting the COMPUTERNAME\username as the login ID?
Have you tried connecting with a different client (i.e. WinSCP)?
Have you tried connecting internally with Windows Explorer?
Please try with a different client as well as Windows. It'll help eliminate variables.

Tested it, router does not block FTP, and I have tested FTP server internally - it works.
It seems that the server is the bottlenec, but it seems I can't find it.
Is there a service to check that might block it? - I am pretty sure there is something except firewall (turned off) that might be blocking it.

A bottleneck wouldn't cause you to get an authentication error.
Have you tried connecting to your FTP server with a different client?

This worked. Need to do this on clients and server.
