If I turn the OS X firewall off completely, it works like a charm. Cyberduck tells me there's a username/password problem, but I don't believe that based on what I've seen in the command line ftp client. It goes into 'extended passive mode' and just hangs there. I can reach the server and log in, but cannot get an 'ls' to work.

However, if I try to ftp to my 'external' IP address (the address assigned to my AirPort Extreme base station by my ISP), which should be forwarded on ports 20 and 21 to my iMac, it doesn't work if the OS X firewall is on. Here's the interesting part: using Cyberduck, or using the command-line ftp client through terminal, I can connect to my 'local' IP address (192.168.1.2, inside my local network) just fine. My iMac is connected using AirPort, not an ethernet cable. I have a Motorola SB5101 cable modem (no built-in router functionality), an AirPort Extreme Base Station (firmware version 5.7). In my AirPort Base Station configuration, I have port 21 (and 20, for good measure) forwarded to my iMac (at 192.168.1.2). Following the instructions, I have confirmed that, in System Preferences/Network/AirPort/Proxies, the box for 'Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)' is checked. That opens up port 21 through the OS X firewall. So, I have set up my System Preferences/Sharing/Services to enable FTP Access. I want to be able to access my iMac remotely using FTP.

I have observed something similar tonight. Macs running 9.x, Macs running 10.4.x, SGI workstations running Irix 6.5.x What's the error you're getting when you try to connect to the FTP server? I presume I must have some setting not right on my powerbook's firewall, since terrapin can get through the router and do its business.Īre you using MacOS X's built-in Firewall or a third party one (LittleSnitch, NetBarrier etc?)

Yes, unless you want to turn your mac into an FTP server, there's no point in enabling (allowing) the FTP Access in your Firewall Settings.Ĭyberduck and Fetch will work but only if I turn off the firewall. The internet tab of sharing has internet sharing off.

I have already checked the FTP access box in sharing (but I presume that is for use if I am using my laptop as the ftp host(?) and I am not up to that technically!) and the other checked boxes are personal file sharing, windows sharing and itunes sharing. All outgoing connections (from your Mac to the Internet) are allowed by default on MacOS X (unless you customized the firewall) I had no trouble doing so with terrapin on a windows XP machine from my home network, but since my migration to mac I want to do it from my new machine rather than a PC.

I am trying to upload files to my free space at Wanadoo.

I use airport to connect to a netgear DG834g router.
