so you can't connect to ftp with the command line on windows?

[nix_crazy]

nope i am not able to connect to any external ftp sites from windows .

i guess i must clear few things here that i configured intranet on my 2 machine so i am using 2 nics with two diff ips . the first ip is which is given by my ISP t oconnect to internet so thats for internet only second ip is like 172.x.x.x for intranet so my clients ip is like 172.x.x.x now i am sharing files through samba . i setup dns and apache for internal server / squid for internet sharing and everything is working fine and yes NO firewall is running . but still got this weired problem . pls see if you ppl can help me .


thanx in advance

well as this is a linux forum, you won't get much help on a windows problem.

[nix_crazy]

no this is not wndows problem case there must be somehting which is not configured properly on my linux or i need to configure something on my linux . so i guess this is the right question . this is linux networking froum so i asked about a network problem this is not windows specific

pls help
thanx in advance

i think that squid uses some port 3128 by default. if u have configured transparent proxy then it should work fine but if u have configured by using some port then it will not work. The solution is either confure transparent proxy or re route the packets to that port through iptables.....i think this should help. if u want any other help, plz request it.............


thanks

I would pretty much say that this is a Active/Passive ftp problem.
You should try to set your client to use Passive ftp.
Which is not possible to do with Windows CLI ftp client. But any GUI ftp client like WS_FTP and so on will have this otion for you.
Try that and let us know.
