FTP server unavailable from local network?

It's possible you firewall (either on your router or your computer you're hosting the FTP server on) is blocking the ports/requests. You forwarded the appropriate ports (or port ranges since you're in Passive Mode) correctly, right?

My router does not have a firewall built in, and ports 20 and 21 are forwarded to the correct internal IP.
On my desktop, Filezilla server has been permitted through Windows Firewall.
I also disabled my firewall and tried connecting, to no avail.

Do you have a custom port range defined under the Passive Mode Settings?

Most routers nowadays have firewalls btw...unless it's an extremely old one..

 

[Gabis1207]

I bought it maybe six months ago, but I'm not seeing an option labeled "firewall" or anything of the sort. No custom port range on the server, either.

It looks like your external IP is trying to connect locally.... Make sure the "don't use external IP for local connections" is checked as well.

Here's my log, connecting locally:

Just verified that "Don't use external IP on local connections" is checked.

Ah, you do connect to the server, I didn't think you got that far.

It looks to be something with your passive settings, and port forwarding.

Your log resembles mine when I had issues because of improper forwarding.

What router do you have?

 

[carnageX]

I bought it maybe six months ago, but I'm not seeing an option labeled "firewall" or anything of the sort. No custom port range on the server, either.

Can almost guarantee you have a firewall somewhere built into the router.

Define a custom port range, and then forward that range on your router as well.

Or just put your server's IP in your router DMZ setting.

What router do you have?

Netgear C3700

Can almost guarantee you have a firewall somewhere built into the router.

Or just put your server's IP in your router DMZ setting.

Never saw any options or settings labeled thusly, but alright.
I'll try the DMZ setting before trying the custom port range this afternoon.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but you'll need to forward a range of ports for FZ...
The port in this case can be taken from here:
Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,100,219,249)
It would be the last two, 219 and 249
219*256+249 = 56613

You'll need to set a port range from like 50000 to 60000 or set a restricted port range on the server
