I also posted this in the TCP/IP forum, but figured someone here might be able to help too!
I have been trying to set up an FTP server at home with limited results. I'm running W2K pro with a DSL connection behind a Linksys 4 port router with a NAT firewall. I have enabled port forwarding for ports 20&21 (FTP), and forwarded them to the IP address of my system. Users can log in, but it's a mixed bag as to what they can list in directories. I have tried 10 different servers, from Serv-U to WarFTPd to Bulletproof, but all seem to have the same problem. I'll explain:
Users have their root directory mapped as /, which is really c:\ftp on my system. In / there are sub-level folders (/music, etc.). Permissions are set to read/write/delete/create/list/recursive(inherit). The user logs in and can see the folders and any files under /. When they try to cd to /music, the client hangs. This happens with multiple clients, including FTP Explorer, CuteFTP, and also the built in Windows client (command line based). Different clients have different results - for example, I cannot list folders using the ls command in the Windows client. I can see the files, but not the folders. If I use dir, it works but won't let me list the contents of sub-dirs.
I have set up different FTP servers on other machines before without a hitch. I can't figure out what is going on - if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. I can setup a test login account for anyone that can help me, just e-mail me at nathan.gagne@verizon.net for more info.
Thanks guys (and gals!)
