Problem entering Passive Mode with FileZilla ftp Server
I setup a FileZilla Server with Passive Mode enabled. I entered a range of ports and left the IPv4 specific setting to "Default". When I test the ftp server via https://ftptest.net, I get the error "Server returned unroutable private IP address in PASV reply". How can I fix this?
Do you manage the firewall between the net and filezilla server?

The firewall is turned off on the filezilla server and I have port forwarding setup on the router for both the listening port and the passive mode port range.
I had a similar issue, it happened to be a rule at the gateway side; it the embedded firewall/iptables
Check your gateway for potential issues

I changed the IP4 specific setting from "Default" to "Use the following IP" and entered the public IP of the gateway. After making this change the test from https://ftptest.net succeeded! I'll try sending a file to the ftp site tonight when I'm not on the same LAN as the ftp server before I close this post, but it looks like it will work.

Thanks. That worked!
