weird ftp problem

[dimitrifrom31]

on one of my servers (and only one) tca ftp server is not working properly with secondary Ip's :

 

- it works fine when using primary IP

- it works fine if firewall is disabled

 

-it does not work with firewall enabled however the monitorservice.exe is in the fw exception, even the port 21.

- the secondary IP's are working fine, even got servers running on them

- in tca server config the FTP IP is blank to "listen to all"

- in windows firewall advanced properties I have ticked the "FTP" box

 

 

for now as a temporary solution I have edited the tca config so the ftp will listen only to primary IP and customers can see primary IP in their control panel.

cant seem to find why its not working with fw enabled on other IP's, any idea?

does it not work on only "1" specific secondary ip? or *all* secondary ip's on the machine?

I've had that issue before -- Looking through my notes here -- Give me a few minutes.

Hmmm only thing I got you already mentioned....Racking my brain now because I know I've had that issue aswell.

 

Have you tried re-applying the configuration to the monitor on that box?

ye, thx for ur time but i already relaunched the tca config utility on that machine and restarted the monitor service several times with no luck

I dont think the problem is at the monitor but the FW.

You can try to make a new rule in the FW, no restrictions.. only put local port on 21.

 

You could also try to telnet on port 21 on the IP's that are not working, if it works on the local machine but not on external, its probably a FW issue.

well I can confirm its firewall for what I could test sicne it works fine as soon as fw is off. However fw rules are properly set and I got same setup on my other machines. This is just not working for that one and thats only affecting ftp as IIS and game servers are just fine.

 

Will try telnet later

Try opening port 20 and 21.

As 20 is used for data connection

doesnt work and tcpview shows nothing on port 20 + I dont have port 20 open on other machines and there ftp works just fine.

I will try a few more things then probably open a ticket
