Connect to ip address viper ftp5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() This keeps bad stuff out, and allows only what you’ve asked for to come in. What if a packet comes in that no one requested? The Router puts it in the “trash”-in technical terms, the Router “drops” the packet. Each time a computer requests information, such as going to “Google,” it puts it in a “packet” (think of an envelope) that the router opens, looks for an address, and then sends it to the Google web page, and in turn the Google web page sends a packet back with the information that opens up in your browser-only first the Router again opens the return packet to make sure that someone inside your private network requested it, and then sends it to the appropriate computer. The router takes one IP address and allows many devices to connect to the Internet using a complex protocol called Network Address Translation (NAT). Some say it’s the first line of defence against hacking and the last line of defence against Trojans/Viruses leaving with your private data-others say it’s a magic box connecting you to the world using sorcery-all of these are true. The Router is an important part in your Network security. ![]() OK, so I know that this Wiki isn’t supposed to get too technical, but some of you might be curious as to how the router works, and why it’s doing what it is. There are other programs you can use that would allow the router to see that a computer requested the information to come in, but you’ve configured FZS thus far, and in many ways it’s better that no one knows what this data is at all-it is your private information after all. Why? Well it’s complicated the type of encryption that FZS uses doesn’t allow the router to “see” that you’d like to allow this communication, and thus the router blocks the data from being transferred. And even though you’ve changed the settings in your Windows 7 or 8 Firewall you still can’t get your FTP Client to connect. More than likely the problem is that your FZS is requesting the FTP Client to use the Passive Ports defined in the FZS settings. But even after summoning a Warlock, a Witch, and a Unicorn-you can’t fix it and wind up here reading this Wiki. You’ve followed a how-to on setting up FZS to use TLS, but you've run into an issue-and after looking at the FZS Log you see the problem-right after the "227 Passive command" is given and acknowledged you see a 425 error. You set up a Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) service to point to your FZS via your external IP address (don’t worry I’ll explain later in the Wiki). So, you've set up your FZS and it works for a local connection in your home, BUT you want to make your Local FTP Server accessible when you’re away-and you want to use encryption (FTP over TLS) to do so. ![]() This Wiki is written for the common user in a narrative tone-if a more in-depth technical Wiki is desired refer to the Network Configuration article. This Wiki will go over the common technical reason(s) for error 425 being given after the FZS sends the 227 Passive command to the FTP client-regardless of what client is being used. There is a Wiki on Network Configuration that covers this information, however, it is written in such a way that the “layman” may have difficulty understanding what’s going on-and it doesn’t show exactly how to fix the 425 error code-so this Wiki will give instructions on how to set up your specific router. This is a How-to guide on how to set up your router with FileZilla Server (FZS) in order to fix the error code 425. ![]()
