Cannot get Cerverus ftp server to work

Hello,

I want to un an ftp server Cerberus to be exact in passsive mode cause
in active mode i cant cause the client's firewall would most probably
block the initiating data conenction attempt.

So i open port 21 and poer 20 for comamnds and data respectively.

Users can login with:

user: Nikos
pass: 4uonly

but they cant get a listing of the files that i have placed inside
ftproot folder.

Why? i mean i have port 20 opend for data communication dont i? and i
have also forwarded 21 and 20 ports from router => 10.0.0.1 which is
the host that the ftp server is runnign on.

So, the clients cant see any listing and therefore can get any file.

Can someone put some light into the subject plz? Thank you.

Someone plz?

Iam trying to understand.

When i create a user Cerverus asks me for virtual root folder and i add one that i want along with the permissions(downlaod, upload, create dir, rename, delete etc) so with that act iam actually setting permission on the FTP Folder to access that folder for the specified user.

I cant test this thing form my inside lan cause even if i try i get no login prompts.

Only people outside my LAN can test it. (please try again)

user: Nikos
pass: 4uonly

or Anonymous login

I want to be able to solve this out and simultaneously learn but i dont know how to proceed from here.

Iam willing to try any ideas though.

(please try one more to login)

Also are you sure about port forwarding 20 and 21 ports.

because cerberus says than in passive mode i ahve to specify a port range from 1025-3500 opposed to port 20 which works in active mode.

Ports needed to be forwarded arent clear either....

Please do not bump threads - it is the weekend, not so busy. People will get round to it when they get back to their geek lives


Are you trying to run the ftp server in an internal network or open to the whole world?
In the configuration settings -> IP manager, have you enabled the IP(s) of the people you want to see your ftp site?
In user management, if you are running over a windows network, there is a NT users settings that you can configure accordingly to integrate with windows authentication.
In server managemnet, have you assigned the IP address of your machine to run as a server?
If you want someone to test your site, you need to give IP address or url

lol ok! :-)

ftp://nikos.no-ip.org

as for widnows authentication si the onyl thing tha i ahvene enbled becaus ei dont know what is it.
