Cannot get on FTP's with networked pc pasv error - I use Redhat 7.2. I can get on internet with both my pc and everythign works but some FTP'S i get PASV ERROR I turned it off and still i got an error i tried all the options. I tried flashfxp, cuteftp, bpftp and regular ie: ftp://ftp.blah.com etc.. nothing worked i think something is wrong with routing or my GATEWAY setting. PLEASE HELP.


my subnet for cable modem (eth0) is 255.255.252.0 but my subnet for eth1 is 255.255.255.0 is that a problem?

Let me start from beginning.

1) I use redhat 7.2 and the linux pc is connected to cable modem and i have no problem connecting to FTP'S or anything with this linux pc.

2) I have 2 nic cards eth0 and eth1, eth0 has my cable info and eth1 has

IP: 192.168.0.1 MASK: 255.255.255.0

Under gateway i put the ip of my cable modem gateway 67.82.140.1 and enablef forwarding (i am not sure if i shoudl put 192.168.0.1 for ip there?)

3) My windows pc which gets on the net by using linux pc gives me error when i connect to some ftp's i think they are behidn firwall or something because ftp.redhat.com works but the ftp where i host my website i can't connec tto, i get errors like

With pasv turned off: 500 Illegal port command
425 cannot build data contnection, connection refused.

WIth pasv turned on: it just freezes at ENTERING PASV MODE and the ip of the site.

I am not sure if my routing.sh file (i use that file for iptables) is messed up or not.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS PLEASE EMIAL ME @ postdeals@hotmail.com

That error is due to port forwarding. Here is a link to describe the problem:

i dont even hav ea router so what should i put i didnt know where to add that passv port thing please help?

That link explains how to get an ftp working behind your router/gateway. But that's now what you are trying to do so it won't help you much.
The easiest solution for you would be to load the kernel modules which handle ftp traffic with NAT. I saw you where using iptables so all you should have to do is insmod for the modules ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp
