What’s important when using a NAT device is the need to forward ports 20, 21, 990 and all unprivileged ports. The client then initiates the connection from it’s second port to transfer data.Ī secure FTP server follows the above procedure with one minor difference the command port used is reserved port 990. In response the server opens a random unprivileged port and sends the “ PORT P” command back to the client.

The first port contacts the server on port 21, and issues the “ PASV” command. A client first opens two consecutive random unprivileged ports (ports above 1023). In passive mode a client initiates both connections to the server. Most browsers use passive mode for connection this mode changes the data port as follows. Depending on the operating mode, the data port is not always on port 20. The following covers this mode and the added complication of running a FTP server behind a wireless router with NAT.įTP uses two ports, a ' command' (control) port and ' data' port traditionally these are assigned ports 21 and 20 respectively. Everything is geared to make it easier for the client hence your server must support passive mode. The user interface mentioned in the article will also be available for users of the free FileZilla.On a local network FTP works just fine however when connecting to the Internet you need to consider a user (FTP client) more importantly the mode of transfer, active or passive.
