FTP client cannot connect to remote FTP server

[samiux]

I am using ZeroShell 1.0 beta11b. I have 3 network interfaces, they are ETH00, ETH01 and ETH02 (wireless). They are working fine upon fresh install. The FTP client works fine at the fresh install copy.

After enabled WPA2-Enterprise and OpenVPN, the FTP client does not connect to the remote FTP server. The error message is “Connect timeout”. The FTP client is not running on wifi connection. However, The WPA2-Enterprise and OpenVPN are working fine.

Meanwhile, the FTP client at the remote PC that running FTP client cannot login to the remote FTP server via OpenVPN. The error message is “Password incorrect”. By the way, the FTP client is also not running on wifi connection.

I don’t know if it is the problem caused by OpenVPN or WPA2-Enterprise.

Any idea?

Have you changed the NAT configuration? Try FTP in passive mode.

I did not change the default NAT setting. The ETH01 is to be NAT.

After discovering the problem, I had disabled the OpenVPN and/or WPA2-Enterprise interfaces but the problem still remained.

I restore the fresh install database and setting the WPA2-Enterprise as well as OpenVPN again. The FTP client can connect to remote FTP server.

The only thing that I did not copy is not adding a route from subnet of ETH02 to default gateway.

Does it cause problem?

UPDATE :
I enabled the RIPv2 for all interfaces (checked all boxes and issued a password). Then, the FTP client cannot connect to remote FTP server with the error message of “Connect timeout”.

Any idea?

Please don’t waste your time to investigate the problem. My problem is fixed.

I mis-configured my FTP server at Virtual Server section as well as the firewall blocked the connection.

Sorry for bothering you.
