FTP Question
Ok, I am trying to set up an ftp server, the server program ive chosen is This one. I choose it mainly because its free.

I have it configured and such but users cannot connect to it from outside my firewall.

I have configured the firewall allow traffic to flow to the server, and it does and allows the user to log in and verify the password.
URL <-forward to my computers 21 port which is what the server is listening for connections.

As I said it verifies the Username of the user and lets them "log on" but when the user asks for the list of the home directory it throws an error "425 Can't open data connection"

Below is a server read out for when a user connects to the server
<
000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - (not logged in) (IP Address)> USER Username
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - (not logged in) (IP Address)> 331 Password required for Username
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - (not logged in) (IP Address)> PASS
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> 230 Logged on
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> opts utf8 on
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.

(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> TYPE A
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> 200 Type set to A
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> PORT 192,168,1,101,18,177
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:04 PM - Username (IP Address)> 200 Port command successful
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:05 PM - Username (IP Address)> LIST
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:05 PM - Username (IP Address)> 150 Opening data channel for directory list.
(000123) 12/29/2003 17:23:16 PM - Username (IP Address)> 425 Can't open data connection.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This doesn't really answer your question, but another free FTP server is Cerberus if you are on a windows platform. It is really easy to set up and use
