This is a newbie question but I can't seem to figure it out. when you set your ftp server to ONLY accept SSL/TLS connections what's the command you have to use. normally it's ftp:// but that doesn't work with ONLY accept SSL/TLS connections so what do you have to use? Does it matter what port you open?

[nightshocker]

does not matter because it still does not work... or at least i can not get it to work and NO ONE will answer the question for it to work.

[usmarine0622]

oh ok at least im not the only one

You'd need a client that supports secure FTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol). This is a relatively rare setup and afaik Firefox (or IE for that matter) doesn't support it out of the box. This add-on seems to be what you are looking for (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684), or you can try FileZilla, which is a free and great FTP/FTPS client.

DNS-323 doesn't support Secure FTP (SFTP) connections. Install good FTP Client (e.g. FileZilla) and configure it to use FTP over explicit TLS/SSL (FTPES). Works perfectly to me.

ok thanks guys

[nightshocker]

thanks for the info i tried what everyone said but still gives this error :

Command:   MLSD
Error:   Connection timed out
Error:   Failed to retrieve directory listing

im using filezilla and flashfxp both do not work

dns323 settings....

FTP Server Status :
     Status    Started
     Port    21
     Max. User    3
     Flow Control    Unlimited
     Idle Time    2
     Client Language    Western European
     SSL/TLS connection    Yes
     Passive Mode    55536~55663

router settings

forwarded udp ports 55536~55663.


anything else i need to do?

[dfly]

Just forward TCP ports not UDP.
I did this, and FTPS works fine for me.

[nightshocker]

i found the problem and it is a dumb one. i have to put the ip everytime it changes which is stupid because my ip could change 3 times in one day.

so can d-link please make a way to get the ip automatically?

i do have a ddns but it is not in the list on the dns-323.


Thanks to all who answered mine and everyone elses questions.

If you have a dynamic domain name already, then you just need to use that when connecting from your FTP client instead of the IP address.

Instead of using ftp://12.34.56.78, you would use ftp://joeblowshomeftp.net (or whatever you chose to list your IP as with your dynamic domain name provider).

[nightshocker]

yes i do that already.. the problem is for tls/ssl. in the ftp options for the dns323 you have to put in the external ip address. i would like it to auto detect my ip, instead of me putting it in. its only in v1.08beta.

it would be nice if i can put my ddns instead of numbers.

[bripab007]

No, you don't need to do that...it's optional.  I think that field might be there for those that don't want to forward their passive port range through the router?

Anyhow, I don't have that box checked, but I do forward the 55536-55663 range to the internal address of my DNS-323 (in addition to forwarding the main, active FTP port, in my case 1023, to the DNS-323's internal port of 21), and I also use a dynamic DNS name to connect to the DNS-323 externally, and it works just fine.

[nightshocker]

anything other then my ip in the box it does not work. i have to have my current ip in there.
i unchecked that box and tried with no luck. so i need it.


i do forward 55536-55663 and my ftp port to the local ip of the dns323

also anyone that connects to my uses my ddns.

[bripab007]

Hmmm, sounds like you're configured just like me, and mine's working fine.  You're also using FW 1.08b5?

What FTP client?  You're using FTPS/FTPES, not SSH over FTP/SFTP, right?  Passive mode?

I'm using Filezilla, default transfer mode (i.e. not passive), FTPS.

[nightshocker]

-1.08 not beta 5
-flashfxp, filezilla
flashfxp  auth tls and yes passiv
filezilla  ftpes and passiv

dns323 does not support ftps(implicit)

the problem is that the ftp client is trying to "talk" to my 323 to its local ip. that is why i need to have that option on and pointed to my current ip. im not even sure how yours is working, lol

when i turn it on both ftp clients work.

any ideas?  im lost at this point.
