Unable to connect to FTP server on local LAN from any device behind a RED.

Hello all,

Am I missing something simple, as no matter which of the 5 REDs we have, any client behind them can't connect to the FTP server (port 21) on the main subnet.

I've tried several FTP programs (currently favouring WINscp) and they all "time out".  I've checked the Firewall logs and nothing is being blocked or dropped.

I can FTP from any client on the main/local/same subnet 10.20.X.X ==> 10.20.X.Y (ftp server), but trying from say 10.10.X.X ==> 10.20.X.Y just times out.

SSH (port 22) works, but FTP is no bueno.

  • New source should be "Internal (Address)" or an Additional Address on that interface.  The response has to come back to the UTM so that the connection tracker can forward it back to the correct IP behind the RED.

    If this works, it's solid proof that the problem is the firewall on the FTP server.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Bob, you're the best!  I swapped the "Change the source to" LocalLan(Address) and in like Flynn!
