it can not do ftp from the outside , here the problem accured when tried to ftp from DOS Mode of windows

C:\Documents and Settings\De2jen>ftp 202.xx.xx.xx
> ftp: connect :Unknown error number


so The probles IS ftp: connect :Unknown error number


please .. help me how to fix it this case


thanks a lot ...

It seems the port number is not the correct port number.
Consider the following command:

Does
telnet 202.x.x.x 21
gives you a message?

still canot


i tried below ...
C:\>ftp
ftp> open 202.xx.xx.xx:21
Unknown host 202.xx.xx.xx:21.
ftp> open 202.xx.xx.xx:20
Unknown host 202.xx.x.xx:20.
ftp> open 202.xx.xx.xx:22
Unknown host 202.xx.xx.xx:22.

ftp>
until 25 of port number i have tried

he he he

any other sugestion ...

n now i using vsFTPd of FTP server in my FC7

but have same problem ..


thanks

Ahah this ftp client is really lame. You can really see Micro$oft strategy with details like this. They had no interest to use standards, they wanted you to use their netbios thing.

Another example:

Hum.. tftp or ftp ?? make up your mind.

chobo, try the telnet

Hi,

This could be related to passive vs active ftp. Try switching to the one you are not using, how to do this depends on the ftp client you are using (the default linux ftp client I use uses the passive command to switch between active and passive).

Hope this helps.

Another thing that came to mind: Are you using a firewall (client and/or server side)?

Passive/active has nothing to do with the connection opening (connect from client to server port 21. Nothing else) Passive/active is used after.

Unless this client is really more dumb than anything.

Hi,
Which I have seen more then once...... And your 'M$ and lame' comment in your previous post also points in that direction

The OP should at least check this, just to make sure.

so . what the solution .... or what can i do to fix it


thanks

i stopped iptables it mean i use no firewall in FC7 ...

n the problem is from my FC ip range it can :
c this

C:\>ftp 202.xxx.xx.xx <-- it mean ip-number of my FC7
