Firewall results to slow FTP connection

Hi there!
I have just setup my Mac Mini Server.
Everything went smooth and speed was fine.
I'm connecting to my server ftp on a local network(gigabit), it loads fast.
Now I enabled the Firewall and made sure the required ports where opened.
When I try to access the ftp now it takes over 2minutes or so to list the directory.
When I change the directory it takes another 2-3 min. And uploading doesn't work somehow.
Remember this all happened after I enabled the firewall.
I have all FTP services enabled on the firewall just to be sure:
FTP Service - PASV Port Range
FTP
SFTP
Anyone who can help me out here ?
Is there some service that needs to be enabled to speed this up?
Woud appreciate it if someone can help me out
Kind regards
P.S I know I can use AFP, but I want to get FTP working for remote connections from a PC

Got it working now!
You just need to make sure you use the "FTP ACTIVE" protocol when connecting.
Don't know why passive is being so slow.

  • Slow FTP Connection

    Hi there,
    we've set up a XServe 2x2 GHz, with now 10.6.1
    We use this in a DMZ as a primary DNS. Web-, FTP and Kerio Mailserver.
    All services runs as expected without the FTP.
    If I try to connect to the FTP, either from a machine in the subnet, a machine from outside or even from the machine itself, it takes over 90 seconds to connect. Once on the server, working there works fine. There is no difference if I use the FQDN or the IP Adress. There is no NAT to the machine, it has its own public IP Addess.
    TIA

  • Slow FTP authentication

    Hi there,
    i have a 10.6.7 server with a very slow FTP authentication issue. Server is bound to AD and it is OD master as well.
    Regardless of users (AD, OD or local) FTP authentication is very slow, it takes 20-25 seconds. Accessing the server via AFP or ssh with same accounts is normal speed (almost instantly)
    Anybody has any idea on why FTP authentication is any different than other services?

    What's in the server logs around the time of the slow ftp connection?
    Have you compared this with sftp, to determine if that is any faster here?  (It's far more secure.)
    Does /sudo changeip -checkhostname/ (on your server) report any errors with your server DNS config?
    See if selecting the ftp transfer mode (active or passive) before the connection speeds things up.
    I'll presume you know that ftp is completely insecure, so you might simply open up your server and see if that's any faster to connect.
    Is your server firewall active when you're testing?  If so, drop it.  (ftp is older than IP, and really doesn't work all that well with the ubiquity of firewalls within modern IP networks.  As part of getting IP to work, you'll need to ensure the ephemeral ports are open on the source or destination firewall.)

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Mac: Slow FTP

    FTP connect is super slow on my Intel iMac.  I have both DW8 and DW CS3, and both intermittently produce long delays while uploading files.  Sometimes files will upload in 2-3 seconds, other times I'll sit and wait for 45-60 seconds for an upload to finish.  Sometimes the upload fails entirely.  I've changed every site related setting (and tried every imaginable combination), turned off external file display and all invisible items display, but I can't get reliable upload speeds.
    The crazy thing is that while DW is sitting there, I can manually fire up Terminal, type my connect to FTP server info, manually copy and paste my username and password, type my cd and lcd info, type my put with file name, and the file transfer is done before DW finishes.  Of course I don't want to be forced to use Terminal for something that's built into DW, and I don't want to switch to Finder and Fetch every time either.  If anyone has suggestions on what else I might try I'd be most grateful (especially if one of the suggestions works!).

    I've been struggling with this problem for months, and during that time contacted Network Solutions repeatedly to try to determine the source of the problem. They won't put you in direct contact with a person who actually knows anything, but instead "escalate" issues to techs, who then send copy/paste form letters 2-3 days later saying everything's fine.
    After running every diagnostic imaginable, and even reinstalling my OS, I decided to open a test account with Godaddy.com.  They got me set up in minutes, and FTP response in DW was immediate, as it should be.  Due to the fact that Network Solutions didn't lift a finger to help resolve this FTP problem that was apparently on their end the whole time, as well as numerous other problems I've been reporting for weeks, I've dropped them.  I'm very happy with Godaddy so far, and FTP has been glorious since I switched.  They even offer customer service in my native tongue, English.  Imagine that.

  • Can't establish ftp connection between a Xserve and a PB

    We want to use a Xserve (Mac OS X Server 10.4.8) to provide webhosting, but experience problems in establishing ftp connections using a PowerBook (Mac OS X 10.4.8).
    On a WinXP-based notebook using the same Internet connection, anything works fine, just not on my PowerBook.
    This is what happens when trying to establish a ftp connection (via terminal):
    I type: ftp [email protected]
    Returns:
    220 star1.local FTP server ready.
    331 Password required for user.
    I provide the password, anything looks fine, get this output:
    230 User starenterprise logged in.
    Remote system type is UNIX.
    Using binary mode to transfer files.
    ftp>
    Okay, now I want to see what files are in the directory using "dir" command ("ls" brings same result). This output is shown:
    502 'EPSV': command not understood.
    227 Entering Passive Mode (132,78,123,92,42,115)
    Now I can either press CTRL+C to escape or when waiting around one minute, then it states this:
    421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
    On a ftp client software like CuteFTP Mac it shows "Can't open data connection" instead of, but result is the same.
    I read through some articles I found here, but nothing compared to my problem. Please help.
    I should mention one thing Apple's support told me: Since I have the same username and UID on my PowerBook as well as on the xServe, it could bring problems. However I have then added a new user to my PowerBook, result is the same. And Apple's support left helpless so far.

    You said: "Not really answered, the problem persists and I now go on and let
    Apple work on it again"
    As a native English speaker, I must say (and doubt any would disagree) that
    your statement implied: "No one here has actually helped me fix this problem,
    and now I'm waiting for Apple to fix it"
    Please take care to the word "again" I used; this implies that Apple has tried to solve the issue before but failed (in fact, they stated to call me back, but this is weeks ago) and so I posted this here at the discussions.
    Unfortunately I only have access to the "free" support (well, free is not the right word when paying 12 cents per minute for the phone call).
    And this means (at least I can speak for the German part of Apple) that operators on the phone look at their knowledgebase and sending articles by e-mail; questions going deeper are resulting in a "we call you back" answer. Sometimes they phone back, sometimes not. Sometimes they are helpful, sometimes (or should I say "in most cases") they just give hints or ask me to investing a nice amount into premium support.
    Don't misunderstand me in the direction that I demand assistance from this forum - I'm more than gradeful if I get help (and rewarded this always with giving points), it has saved me several times (many, many, many times) for doing time consuming investigations and making trial-and-error experiences by myself. If I cannot get more assistance, well I have to look elsewhere and so be a bit impertinent to Apple's support. Perhaps it helps
    You are right, FTP itself works correctly. It even works fine on the WinXP notebook residing at the same LAN as my PB. Therefore the issue is at the PB's firewall very likely (or a strange relationship between two firewalls which seems not to affect WinXP).
    But as you indicate, it makes no sense to lower down security just for doing ftp, especially since SSH works well. However since I have no problems doing ftp sessions with other servers, I would be eager to find the reason why it refuses in this case, even this just means feeding my curiosity
    So if I come to new insights, I post them here. But I feel that I'll really need your wishes for luck to solve this problem Let's see...

  • FTP Connection Issues Dreamweaver CS5.5

    I can't ftp into the top level directory of any of my hosting accounts with dreamweaver cs5.5
    This is becoming a major issue and I'm aware now of other users with the same issue.
    First  log in to an ftp server works fine - the test case directory is created  and deleted - and I think it is this which is causing some odd  permissions issue.
    Second time you try to log in, the connection is made,  but then any directory listing times out. However if I define a  directory such as /public_html/images/ then it will connect and display  directory listings just fine.  Clicking "Test" in the server definition dialog results in an OK message.
    If i FTP in using a different FTP Client (in this case  Transmit) and upload a single file, the issue goes away, and  dreamweaver can again connect - one time only, until I perform this odd  "reset".
    This happens on all FTP connections across multiple  hosting companies (all of the hosting companies my clients sites are  stored at).
    FTP log is below:
    < 257 "/www"
      < 220 Welcome to Proweb Server FTP service (JubJub).
      > USER winfo
      < 331 Please specify the password.
      > PASS
      < 230 Login successful.
      > PWD
      < 257 "/"
      > CWD /
      < 250 Directory successfully changed.
      > CWD /www
      < 250 Directory successfully changed.
      > PWD
      < 257 "/www"
    Then it waits for a while before  giving me the following error message (I've extended timeout to anything  up to a couple of minutes, no difference):
    Toggling the "USE Passive FTP"  checkbox may help you establish a connection. -Select or de-select the  checkbox and click Test to tray again.
    -if you are connecting  using an IPv6 enabled server, please select the "USE IPv6 transfer mode"  checkbox in the Advanced site definition dialog.
    If  the problem persists, check you network settings, including the local  firewall settings on your computer, or consult your network  administrator.
    I have tried PASV checked and unchecked, performance optimisation, and every other combination available to me. I am not connecting through a proxy.
    The  settings on ALL of my sites worked before the cs5.5 upgrade. The  settings on NONE of my sites with a root directory specified work since  the upgrade.  The only thing that has changed is the move to dreamweaver  cs5.5.  I can connect with other ftp clients.  my ftp server settings  are correct. My server and network settings are unchanged. The settings on ALL my sites on other FTP clients continue to work fine.
    Am on an i7 2.8GHz Intel iMac running 10.6.7 with 8 gigs of RAM. I have quit all software except dreamweaver and tried running my mac firewall both on and off.
    Really running out of ideas, and know of other people with the same issue since the upgrade - what's going on Adobe?!

    Same for me, in that I had an unreliable and effectively unusable FTP connection with CS5.5 . I've reverted to CS5, because even though I'll miss a couple of the new features I need to have a working connection to the site when working with PHP - because otherwise I can't see my site at all other than via Firefox. I also suspect that at least a couple of times I've had some sort of corruption occur as a result of the FTP hanging. All was okay before CS5.5, and I may have slagged off a different hosting provider than my present one when it was in fact (at least in part) a DW issue. If it isn't fixed in CS6 then CS6 is unusable for me and I'd definitely be happier with 'unenhanced' CS5 FTP functionality. The theoretical performance gains with the CS5.5 implementation are trivial by comparison with the problems. If all else fails, please revert to CS5 code for the FTP side of things.
    UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is now fixed for me. The problem was that I did not have a proper web url entered in my site definition for the remote server. I'm not sure how that was placing any limitation on FTP access - after all, the need for a full site definition was removed a couple of software issues ago - but the fact is that with the correct web address entered I have working FTP on CS6 (and seemingly on CS5.5 too). I had a simple forward slash entered for the web address, probably as a result of some earlier investigation of the local server/remote server relationships for file upload on a PHP site. I was running CS5 with the correct Web Url entered, so that was working and the CS5.5, without the correct Web Url, was not. I vaguely remember reading that the Web Url was connected with DWs management of absolute/relative links and not much else, but it seems that is not the case. The new FTP is MUCH faster and I'm a happy guy. Site menu>>>Manage sites>>>[select your site]>>>Edit>>>Servers>>>[2-click your server]>>>Web URL:    Put in the full URL e.g. http://www.somesite.com . Not sure if you need a trailing / after, but I have one.
    UPDATING AGAIN: Through all of that I had turned on the  'IPv6 protocol' and 'Passive FTP' options in an attempt to get working. The result of that was FTP that worked well once transferring files but often took a while to hook up. Deselecting those, and using CS6, I'm happy with my FTP.

  • Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme bridge resulted in slow LAN speeds

    Wondering if other people are seeing this. I am unsure if this was a result of upgrading both my TC and AEx to 7.6, but my LAN speeds had suffered in this configuration.
    1.  Comcast cable modem connected to the WAN port on my TC.
    2.  Connected an ethernet cat6 cable from the TC to my Airport Extreme, which was configured as a bridge.
    3.  My desktop was connected to the Airport Extreme.
    4.  When doing file transfers within the LAN or general internet usuage, my network speeds were extremely low.
    5.  Disconnected the cat6 cable from the TC and plugged that directly to my desktop.
    6.  Network speed jumps up by a factor of 5. LAN file transfers and internet usuage has returned to what I had expected.
    Is there a known issue where a bridged AEx conncted to another Airport "main" device will result in all machines connected via the AEx to have slow LAN speeds?
    I didn't see this issue months ago. I did less than 2 months ago upgrade our machines to the 7.6 firmware, but after experiencing some hiccups on the network, reverted back to 7.5.2.  However, the slow LAN speeds haven't gone away when the two airport machines are connected to each other.
    Any insight or advise is appreciated.

    By now, millions of users have updated to 7.6 and I cannot recall seeing a post similar to yours on this forum.
    As far as a "known issue", you would need to contact Apple regarding that.
    Suggest that you have the AirPort checked out at an Apple store if you have one near you.

  • Qosmio F30-117: Unable to make FTP connections

    I have Qosmio F30-117, windows XP, Norton Internet security.
    When I attempt to FTP to my website I get FTP connection failed.
    I have tried on friends computer and connection was made first time.
    When I attached my laptop to his Broadband connection - no FTp. This at least eliminates my router.
    I have tried to disbale parts of Norton Internet Security with no success.
    Help???

    Hi,
    so if I were you I would completely disable the Norton software and make sure the Windows Firewall is letting you trough. Otherwise you should check if your friend has set up everything correctly. If you want to test it that your machine is able to connect over FTP, then go to www.kernel.org and grab some ftp address.
    Then open your favorite FTP client and try to connect. If the connection really fails then double check all settings and try it again. I think the problem is so small that everyone just oversees it. ;)

  • If you have an Airport Extreme router and a slow Internet connection ...

    I know that Internet connection speeds are extremely variable, but I wanted to share this post for anyone having performance problems (very slow Internet connection speeds) while using an Airport Extreme router. This may or may not help you, but it might help someone.
    I have a RoadRunner Turbo account, and I was experiencing consistently slow Internet download speeds (an average of only about 300KB/sec). However, when I bypassed my router and connected my Mac directly to the Time Warner modem my download speeds were 6 to 8 times faster (up to about 2MB/sec).
    After weeks of tinkering and reading Apple documents I discovered that my Airport Extreme router had an improper setting. That setting is found under: Manual Setup -> Internet -> Internet Connection -> Ethernet WAN Port. When I was experiencing the very slow speeds, my Ethernet WAN Port setting was: '100 Mbps/Full Duplex.' To fix the problem I simply changed this to 'Automatic (Default).'
    This one change resulted in a huge, positive performance boost for me. I hope this post helps other people.

    You use an App like Filebrowser.  Details here:

  • FTP connection looses connection if it exceeds 90 seconds.

    FTP connection dropped after 90 seconds. I believe the problem is in a firewall but cannot get much help from that group. Is there somewhere else that controls the timeout for FTP that I am missing? No timeout is set in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess. I did change /etc/inetd.conf to use the -t300 just to make sure on my end (ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -a -t300), and did the kill -HUP. The connection was retried and the transfer completed the second time, but it took less than 90sec. This transfer takes place every day but occasionally failes it it exceeds the 90 seconds. Nothing is showing up in the /var/adm/messages log.

  • FTP Connection Issue in Dreamweaver CS4

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and of course had to reinstall Design Premium CS4. Up until now Dreamweaver CS4 (Version 10.0 Build 4117) has connected to ftp flawlessly, however ever since I reinstalled I have been receiving the "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found" error message.
    What I have tried so far:
    I have double checked that my login information is correct
    I have successfully logged in to the ftp server using another ftp client and through a browser
    Through Dreamweaver I have tried using passive FTP, secure FTP, firewall and none of those settings make a difference.
    I receive the error message whether I click "test" or try to connect through the files panel .
    I have checked my firewall settings and Dreamweaver is an allowed program.
    I don't have access to another ftp server to check if would work in that situation.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Dreamweaver and the entire suite.
    Is there anything else that I need to do?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This is a maddening issue that's getting press in various forums, here and on Adobe's site, and all sorts of third party blogs, etc. I spent days wrestling with this with no luck, because in CS3, which I"ve been using for years under OS X, Extension Manager is broken (under Mountain Lion, at least). Installed CS4, CS5—nothing worked. The ""can't connect" error message appears instantly, suggesting that DW wasn't even trying to make the FTP connection, which led me to suspect Little Snitch or some other firewall issue, but this wasn't the case. I isolated login items, repaired permissions, booted in Safe Mode—all with no luck. Finally, I tried opening DW from a different user login and FTP connected. This, at least in my case, pointed to something in the user folder. I narrowed it down to the User/Library folder. Creating a new user and copying the Library folder over copied over the problem, as expected. New user was deleted, and I wen tinto the troublemaking User/Library folder to see what I could see. There were old files and folders there from previous installs, including CS3—speciifically in the User/Library/Application Support folder and, of course, in User/Library/Preferences. After deleting thiese, I found no further problems connecting via FTP in DW CS4. I presume that CS5 also would connect now, but I'm not keen to put it to the test. Under CS4, Extension Manager works fine, which is what I was looking to accomplish in upgrading from CS3. Moral of the story: Adobe CS installations do not like legacy files and folder either in User/Library/Application Support or User/Library/Preferences. Deleting these may work for you, too—at least it's another string to the troubleshooting bow, and this one can be a real bear. Good luck to all who have run into this.

  • Little solution of ftp connection trobles in Vista

    Hi, after many days of work I have find a little solution for the know problem of ftp connection in Vista system with Explorer 7 or 8 installed.
    This solution is tested under Dreamweaver CS4 with a Unix Apache server.
    With the old WS-FTP not work!
    Instructions:
    1- Choice SFTP transfer protocol (you need a web server that support SSH transfer protocol!)
    2- As remote directory you need write the full root server directory (for example: /home/user/domain/etc./)
    That work fine!

    You might have already done this. I just did not see it in your post. Ensure that there are no Network, Firewall problems first.
      An FTP in a dynpro seems like it would be coming from the SAP system. Try first to have Basis to 'Ping' the site. Then ask them to FTP manually, outside of SAP from the SAP server OS. If that does not work, perhaps a different site would allow the FTP from the SAP server environment.
      If that all works, there may be a demo program supplied by sap. Look in se38 with the word DEMO, in the program input field for hints.
      You can try transaction SM69. This transaction allows server-level command scripts as: "external OS command". See if it works from there.
       I hope that this helps....

    servers) with Dreamweaver 8 with no problem until yesterday. I'm
    pretty sure I didn't change any settings of my firewall or
    dreamweaver. But since yesterday I couldn't connect to just ONE of
    my websites. I always get the message: "Dreamweaver could not
    connect to the server. User canceled. Operation time out".
    It's odd because when I "test" the connection on "remote
    settings" it does work. But when I try to only upload any file it
    doesn't.
    The "passive FTP" was always checked when was working. I
    tried to unchecked and didn't work too.
    So, I reported to the server and it was not a problem with
    them. I tried to connect by ftp in Firefox and worked. So I realize
    it could be something with my ftp connection.
    I tried to turn off my firewall, but still not working.
    I tried to test the TCP/IP port 21 (and it is open).
    I tried to delete the site definitions from Dreamweaver and
    re-create again, but no luck.
    I just didn't re-install Dreamweaver because I'm afraid to
    lose the connection with my other 2 sites.
    Does anybody have any tip, or link with similar issue that I
    can get some turn around???
    Please any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Viv,
    For what its worth - I'd recommend a third party ftp client,
    something along
    the lines of Panic, or otherwise.
    DW's ftp is a pretty regular topic of conversation round
    these parts.

  • Ftp connection and Dreamweaver

    Hi everyone,
    I was all day long reading the posts in this forum and Adobe's about ftp connection issues with Dreamweaver. Hope somebody else has a new idea or experience to help me.
    I have been working and updating 3 websites (different servers) with Dreamweaver 8 with no problem until yesterday. I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings of my firewall or dreamweaver. But since yesterday I couldn't connect to just ONE of my websites. I always get the message: "Dreamweaver could not connect to the server. User canceled. Operation time out".
    It's odd because when I "test" the connection on "remote settings" it does work. But when I try to only upload any file it doesn't.
    So, I report to the server and it was not a problem with them. I tried to connect by ftp in Firefox and worked. So I realize it could be something with my ftp connection.
    I tried to turn off my firewall, but still not working.
    I tried to test the TCP/IP port 21 (and it is open).
    I tried to delete the site definitions from Dreamweaver and re-create again, but no luck.
    I just didn't re-install Dreamweaver because I'm afraid to lose the connection with my other 2 sites.

    But I don't understand why I get ftp connection with
    2 websites and just one is not working??? should this
    be happening if it was a "port" problem???
    I can help clarify this. With FTP, there are TWO connections. The first is the control connection, and that occurs on port 21. This is where the authentication takes place, and where commands are passed from cliet to server.
    The second connection is the data connection. This is where the transfer of data takes place (including a directory listing). There are two basic ways of establishing this connection, active and passive. In an active connection the server attempts to open a socket from port 20 to a random port on the client. This is the connection which is blocked by firewalls.
    In passive mode, the server sends back a port number that it (or rather a child) is listening on. The client connects to the server on that port, and receives data. The problem is, that while this is happening, the control connection is idle. This may cause the control connection (and thus the entire protocol) to time out.
    So there are quite a few things that can go wrong. If your server only supports active mode and you have a firewall which blocks its incoming connection, eventually the control connection will time out. If your server is load-balancing, or your router tries to recylcle ide connections, the control connection may be shut down. I don't know what's happening in your case, but I can tell you what may be happening with your ports. HTH.
