Does your connection attempt succeed if you specify the internal address of the server?<br />
<br />
If you log into the computer where the server software is running can you connect if you refer to it as <b>localhost</b>?

Hi Alex<br />
<br />
FTP server is not on our local LAN, however when connected to the VPN can only FTP to it<br />
using the IP address on the remote LAN, think it may be something to do with our office router<br />
still checking<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
We have setup FTPES (FTP over explicit TLS/SSL) using PureFTPd on a server,<br />
we also have a VPN to our office, we can connect with no problem out side of our<br />
office, but when on the office LAN we can only connect if the VPN is connected,<br />
but with the VPN connected we lose all other internal LAN connections?<br />
<br />
Have tried on Windows,MAC &amp;&nbsp;Ubuntu<br />
<br />
Am I missing something I should have done on our LAN?<br />
<br />
Thanks

FTPES only works when VPN connected

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
