 Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2025 5:02 pm Post subject: FTP Connection timed out error |
 |
|
I just started ftp server. I installed server to VM Ubuntu 20.4. I use Bridge adaptor network and I see 192.168.80.111 ip. Also cmd "ping 192.168.80.111" gives
| Quote: | Ping statistics for 192.168.80.111:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms |
sudo systemctl status vsftpd gives active "(running)" output
I allowed with "sudo ufw allow 20:tcp and 30000:30100/tcp", opened ports on windows defender inbound rules too.
When I try to connect from Win11 with "ftp 192.168.80.111" it gives Connection timed out error. What should I check?
Here is my config file. (Deleted commented lines for short version)
listen=YES
listen_ipv6=NO
anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
use_localtime=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
chroot_local_user=NO
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
ssl_enable=NO
pasv_min_port=30000
pasv_max_port=30100

Kozmiq, welcome to gentoo forum.
FTP server listen on TCP/21 (control port)
FTP server may also listen on "passive FTP mode" ports (your vsftpd config says: TCP/30000 until TCP/30100)
vsftpd config "connect_from_port_20=yes" means FTP server use source/from port TCP/20 when connecting to client provided port TCP/xyz in "active FTP mode".
"active FTP mode": after client and server handling via control port all demands, server connect to client again via client provided port for send/receive data.
"passive FTP mode": after client and server handling via control port all demands, client connect to server again via passive port for send/receive data.
Please write hundred times: FTP is dead |

So what you say? It doesn't give me anything to solve problem. Yeah I got that you gave me the problem and I have to solve it by myself but still I can't. Should I change ports? What should I do? |

| Kozmiq, if you still need help, please show us the loaded firewall rules and the port(s) on which vsftpd is listening. Also, show the output of emerge --pretend --verbose net-ftp/vsftpd net-firewall/iptables net-firewall/ufw. |

| I don't know how but today it works. I created Windows' own ftp server and it was working yesterday. But today my ubuntu ftp server working but windows one isn't. I assume it caused by public wifi or something. |
