Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your time.

I've recently set a freenas sys for purpose testing which will be implemented into a friend office. The FTP LAN wise works and when i try to connect to the server via internet using filezilla i am able to see folders, create new or delete existing ones, but when it comes about file transfer it gets stuck after few secs and filezilla prompts out the error 'connection timeout'. I know about the security risks etc using ftp :) but at the moment i want just to let it work. I will use SFTP with SSH as soon my tests are successful.
I am behind a Sitecom WL-304, NAT service enabled, no DHCP, firewall disabled. FTP Service is open on port 21.

Thanks.

looks like its working, i switched filezilla from passive to active mode. I will do few more testing and report results.

beside filezilla itself, was also an issue with windows firewall, because filezilla had 'limited access' to the 'public network' (internet).

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
