Hello from the wild west.
Wondering if anyone has run into this error.. here is the debug output
from my ftp client, command line Mac OS X ftp client (aka freebsd 4.4 i
think)..
215 UNIX Type: L8
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

connection times out..
I am behind a router that is doing NAT, no real firewall.. the remote
ftp server is behind NAT/Firewall.. the remote server's internal ip
address is 192.168.0.75. There is one ip address assigned to the remote
location, depending on the port request made to the remote router.. the
appropriate internal ip is requested..
Via mac os x command line ftp I cannot see the results of the ls
command behind the NAT router on a 192.168.x.x ip, but on an outside on
a world reachable ip i can view the results of ls.
On a windows machine using ws ftp LE and behind the NAT having a
192.168.X.X ip a LS command times out as well.. Though when the
windows machine is on the external network, with a 207.33.X.X ip the ws
ftp client functions normaly..
I can connect to hundreds of machines behind the NAT router, it is just
this one server i cannot connect to.... and it happens to be a server
that needs to be reachable from this office (of course) on a daily
basis for uploading source, and beta builds..
The router that is doing nat locally is a netopia cayman, firewall is
set to 'Clear Sailing' on the router, meaning i assume not blocking
anything..
What can be done? on my side or on the server side? In news groups this
seems to be a BSD ftp client issue.. and a ws ftp client issue, I have
tried several clients, none of them can connect. I have no idea on how
to solve this.. we will be loosing the 207.33.X.X network in a few
weeks (too expensive for T1 access).. how can I trace this? Is there
anyway possible that it is the remote ftp server issue?
this is the debug from the 'not behind the nat ip'
