Did you look in a firewall log on your router? |
No what would I be looking for exactly, i'm farily new to this area of networking so most of this is pretty new...any input is appreciated. |

The Argosy 006-1216 firmware appears to fix the SET-EOF file problem previously discussed.
I have tried the test procedure that I previously posted with both W98 and W2k, and it no longer leaves the extra lines at the end of the file with either OS.
 Wahoo |

What port activity got blocked at the exact time you were trying to use FTP. |

So where do you get the -1216 firmware from, as I can opnly see -1013 on the website.

Five posts before this one, on the bottom of page 18, Quest posted the link to get the 006-1216 firmware from Argosy's Tiwan website |

BigCity2:
What firmware is your HD363N using?
If I remember right there was a problem with earlier firmware not properly handling changing the FTP port from 21. If it is not already, you should upgrade to at least 006-1013 and see if you still have your ftp problem. I cannot get Firefox to upgrade the firmware properly, although others report no problems, but IE has always worked for me. There is also brand new firmware, 006-1216, available. See previous posts for links to it. |

| Ok, I uploaded the new firmware and tried ftp-ing to the HDD and I still cannot log on to it on any other port than 21. I triead port 50,000 forwarded the range of 49000-52000 w/ TCP protocol and it never logs in. But like I said I switch it to the standard FTP port 21 and it works fine. Is there a setting on the router i'm missing for using the other port? The router log shows the IP and the destination port but nothing other than that. |

OK, mine works OK with a different FTP port, but I am not going through a router.
I would suggest that temporarily you put the NAS on the same subnet as the PC with the FTP client, so you don't have to go through a router to get to it.
I am using 006-1216 firmware, and WSftp
I have it configured for a fixed IP address.
I went into FTP Service in the administration console.
I checked Enable under FTP server, and left the port at 21 to start with, then did [Apply].
I clicked the [Add Account] button, entered the account name, and clicked [Add]
I selected the new account from the list, and clicked [Modify Account]
I entered the password, checked Enable and Read Only and hit [Modify]
I moved some shares from the right hand column to the left by selecting them and pressing [<-Add]
I created a profile on WsFTP, using the numeric IP address, the account name, and password, and it logged in and I browsed some files.
I went to the FTP Service page of the admin console and changed the port to 4000, and hit [Apply]
WSftp would not log in with port 21. I changed WSftp to port 4000 under the advanced tab of the profile, logged in, and browsed some files just fine.
Then I went to write this up, and was bopping back and forth between the admin console pages and dialogs. Somehow I locked it up. I could not log in through ftp. When I went in through the network share, all my files were missing. Reset through the admin console did nothing. I thought I'd flushed all my files. Removing power from the NAS box and powering it back up restored things to normal. Therefore, when you have changed the port and cannot get in, try removing the power and restoring it and see if that helps.
You should get it working first using the desired alternate port and a fixed IP with the NAS on the same subnet as the ftp client. Only then place it where you have to go through the router to get to it, and you will know that any configuration problems are in the router. |

I've done everything exactly as you said before with the exception of doing the hard reboot so I'll give that a shot tonight as well. Can you connect to the FTP from an outside line like from work or a friends house? Reason I ask is that I can sit there on my couch and connect using the outside IP address just fine on any port, but when I try it from work or have a couple of my buddies try from Indiana or North Carolina they are unable to "fully" connect. I say that b/c it will appear that you can log in but then it never displays the folder directory to upload/download files.... |

This needs clarification. You connect to ftp box using outside IP?
What is an "outside IP"? Public IP of your router?
What's your network setup? Is it:
internet - cable/dsl modem - router - local network devices
so IP's are:
internet - router Public IP - router Private IP - (FTP box IP; PC IP)
Therefore you probably meant that from PC IP you have connected
susscessfully using "router Public IP:FTP port"?
That's not a valid test. You need someone with internet Public IP try to
access "router Public IP:FTP port". Not from your local network.

Yes, the 1216 firmware looks good. No Set-EOF woes and so far every other test I use passes with flying colors.
I wonder if anyone will try some PST file test cases that used to fail? |

I apologize if I'm not using the proper terminology I do not do this everyday thus I am explaining it the best way I know how. But as far as my setup goes I have cable modem->Wireless Linksys router->to the NAS box also have a personal computer at home. When I stated outside IP I meant the IP of the router assigned by Comcast, not the IP of my local network. I can connect at home w/ FlashFXP or SmartFTP, I am able to connect from work but the public shared folder does not show up. The last setup I tried was setting the NAS FTP to port 50000 and used a static IP of 192.,168.1.116 with a gateway of 192.168.1.1. On the router I forwarded ports 49000 to 51000 to the NAS IP of 192.168.1.116. |

No problem. Try to learn a few things by reading a lot.

That is your "Public IP" address. The one valid on Internet (Public)
network.

does not show up.
|
That is because your FTP box invites a further communication on a different
port.
For some servers that port range is customizable. For HD363N - I don't know.
That's why I have asked you to look in a router firewall log; to see what
port ftp client is trying to use.

Why did you decide to open 49000-51000 range? That has nothing to do with
setting control port to 50000.
You can open any ports you want, but they have to coincide with a
"server-side port of the data connection".
Otherwise further communication is blocked. Readup:

and for MS IIS FTP (not applicable to your HD263N):

Hi Guys,
I have been following this particular thread on this forum for ages and is been of so so much help. Its amazing how everyone tries to help out on others problems with the simple Nas device and NAS in general. Keep the great work up.
I do have a little problem here myself. I have had the Argosy HD363N drive for sometime now, running the The Argosy 1013 firmware and it works flawlessly, however i have been having this one problem with my FTP.
When ever i transfer files from work to the house where i have the Argosy HD363N some files get corrupted, some partly and some are ok. I'm not sure what is causing this problem. I just installed The Argosy 006-1216 firmware today and i'll try again.
I have a linksys WRT54GS router with FTP Port 21 forwarded. I'm able to connect perfectly from anywhere. Please let me know if anyone is having the same issues and how they fixed. Any help will be so much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
I have exactly identical problem with FTP.
When I copies files from my work on ftp on HD363N this all it is seems OK.
In house I download these files and it turns that I can not them open.
The size of files are identical like original.
I have the newest firmware 1216. Router 3Com DSL / Gateway
What can be problem?
