Multiple Ftp servers behind netgear router.

[gindaray]

Hi there.. just wondering is it possible to set up multiple ftp servers behind NetGear RP 614v2? I did it with some lousy brand called ROADA. turn off the firewall in the router and forward the ftp to different port on different computers. But with NetGear, I could only set up 1 ftp server and that's on port 21 only. Is there any other way to set up 2 ftp server behind the netgear router?

you should be able to, as long as you forward the correct ports to each computer running the ftp.


do you have the latest firmware, and what ftp server software are you using?

people can get into my ftp server but they always get stuck when it change to pasv mode. and the client will just stays there. i'm using bulletproof ftp server. and yes i do have the latest firmware.

tell them with what ever ftp client they are using to go into the options and turn off passive mode (or enabled active mode)

i have a linksys router with bulletproof ftp server and some people have the same problem

HI Groundzero sorry for the long reply.. just couldn't seem to find this thread... yes it works... with the port.. but if the clint is also behing a router? How do i solve that? it can't connect. the error i think something like have to use host ip? i kinda forgot..

You could always open up a port range to allow for passive transmissions. I managed to do it with vsftpd and a linksys router, so you should be able to do something similar with a netgear.

hmmm can you please teach me how to do that? and which port range should i open up?
