Unable to Establish Connection Remotely
Dear Support,
Please can you tell me what must I do, so that I can access my "homedirectory" from a remote computer using a FTP client and the "Apache FTP Server"?, because currently I can only access my "homedirectory" or homedirectories via an FTP client via localhost on the host computer.
Herewith follows a brief explanation of the setup with information that may help you to advise me:
I have connected two computers via a wireless network (using two wireless network adapaters and No router). The first computer (is the host computer) has Wndows XP Pro and Aache 2.2.11 and the latest Apache FTP server, and FileZilla. The second computer (is the client computer) has Windows XP Pro and the latest version of the FTP Client called FileZilla.
1) I have setup user accounts via the File based facility for the Apache FTP Server. I am able to successfully connect to the appropriate homedirectory on my server via the FileZilla FTP client via localhost on the first computer when I specify the following:
Host: localhost
Username: my_First_Site_Name
Password: UserPasswordName
Port: 2121
The Hostname for the client PC is called "my-Host". Unfortunately, when I try to connect to the relevant homedirectory via the Second PC (client PC) using the following details then the FTP client stipulates "connected" but then stipulates "Waiting for Welcome Message...." and eventually it times out:
Host: my-Host
Username: my_First_Site_Name
Password: UserPasswordName
Port: 2121
Here is a copy of the content for my users.properties file:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.userpassword=UserPasswordName
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.homedirectory=../../htdocs/my_First_Site_Name
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.enableflag=true
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.writepermission=true
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.maxloginnumber=20
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.maxloginperip=2
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.idletime=300
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.uploadrate=4800
ftpserver.user.nusphere_test.downloadrate=4800
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is a copy of the relevant content for my ftpd-typical.xml file:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<server xmlns="http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/spring/v1 "
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance "

"
id="myServer" anon-enabled="true">
<listeners>
<nio-listener name="default" port="2121">
<ssl>
<keystore file="./res/ftpserver.jks" password="password" />
</ssl>
</nio-listener>
</listeners>
<!-- it appears the default is encrypt-passwords="true" if not specified therefore i included it below -->
<file-user-manager file="./res/conf/users.properties" encrypt-passwords="false" />
</server>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please can you tell me what must I do, so that I can access my "homedirectory" from a remote computer using a FTP client and the "Apache FTP Server"?
I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards,
Michael

Looking at your FtpServer configuration, there should be no difference
in connecting locally or remotely to this server. Could you please
provide the output of netstat /a (I think that's the correct syntax on
Windows) on the same box as FtpServer runs on and the output of
"telnet my-host 2121" on the remote client box.
