Title: FTP: Connection Refused with ASUS RT-N66W Router
Post by: chaotixk on June 17, 2014, 10:29:00 PM

Hello, please help me figure out what might be the cause of my issue. I haven't been able to connect to the FTP server through LAN in over a month after my DNS323 NAS restarted. It worked prior to that. I've looked and read over many suggestions but no luck in getting it to work so far.

I'm getting a 'Connection Refused' error when trying to connect using Transmit on Mac OS. I've got Fonz Plugin installed as well as Twonky Media Server. I'm not sure what else to check asides from Port forwarding to 21 (which I've done but this shouldn't be necessary since I'm just trying to access via LAN, right?). I've ensured that the FTP users are setup, FTP is STARTED, and that it isn't the Firewall on the router (turned it off). I've tried DMZ also. I've also tried FileZilla and other FTP programs. I've Manually Assigned an IP around the DHCP list so that I can have a static IP address of 192.168.1.XX for the NAS. I've got the latest Firmware on both the DNS 323 and the ASUS. Any other things I need to check? My FTP server was functioning fine before. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Twonky Media Server is functioning as usual. I can access my content/file directories through the web-interface and can stream to any of my DLNA connected devices so I know that the data is available and is on the two Hard Drives inside of the DNS NAS.

Log in via telnet and check to ensure the FTP process is actually running.

Thanks dosborne, how does one check exactly via Telnet? I've telnet 192.168.1.XX with Terminal and it looks like I'm able to access the NAS. From my research, it appears that sshd.sh is not started. Is that where my problem is?

I've tried the following:

Code: [Select]

/ # ./ffp/start/sshd.sh start
which resulted in:

Code: [Select]

You don't exist, go away!
You don't exist, go away!
You don't exist, go away!
Starting /ffp/sbin/sshd
Could not load host key: /ffp/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /ffp/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
I don't appear to have an ssh_host_rsa or dsa_key

Code: [Select]

/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/etc/ssh # ls -l

-rw-r--r--    1 0        root         3306 May 19  2009 sshd_config
This is what I have in the root directory if it helps any...

Code: [Select]

bin          etc          image.cfs    mnt          sbin         usr          welcome.msg
default      ffp          lib          proc         sys          var
dev          home         lost+found   root         tmp          web
Any ideas? Thanks.

Use the process status command "ps"

type:

ps -ef

and look for the ftp process or type:

ps -ef | grep ftp


It will either list the ftp process id or not depending on if it is running.

This is what those commands returned. It looks like I don't have the FTP process running. How do I start it? Is my NAS corrupted? This all happened after a restart a while back.
