You need to verify that the ftp server software is listening on your machines local IP address, you say you can connect from the machine itself - are you just connecting to its 127.0.0.1 address or the name localhost? You say you can not ping this machine from another machine on your network - this could point to a firewall issue or maybe a double nat setup.Īre all machines connected to the same router? Or do you have another router in the network? Also is the machine wired or wireless to your network? Are the other machines wired or wireless? Quite often a wireless router can block wireless machines from talking to other wireless machines (called ap or client isolation as an example) If it then works - you know that is config issue with this software. I would suggest you at least for testing disable any and all software firewalls/antivirus/security software on both machines your wanting to test with - both the server and the client. I rarely see a point to running software firewalls on machines behind a nat router - more often then not just causes the users issues. If your using the local name that resolves to a local IP, or the local ip from another local machine and its not working you need to verify that any local software firewalls or antivirus software allows for this - quite often antivirus can block access to ftp. IE coming from machine on your local network trying to go to a public IP or public FQDN and then your router sending it right back (loopback). So lets repeat the question are you trying to access the ftp server using its LOCAL ip, say 192.168.1.100 from machine 192.168.1.101 or are you trying to access it by name? ftpservermachine or some outside FQDN say or its public IP address?Īs stated making loopback connections quite often does not work (depends on the router supporting this feature or not).
