One down side to FXP is that alot of routers now provide NAT (Network address translations) for seamless protocol forwarding.

So when the client send the PORT command the router maps the port locally, changing the original value. This provides transparent connectivity, and without it you would be forced to use PASV mode.

However the router is not smart enough to know the difference between local and FXP. Thus breaking FXP support.

The only solution I am aware of is to turn off NAT or ask the site owner to use a non-standard port. Most routers only monitor port 21 for ftp traffic. So if the FTP server is on port 414 the router wont modify the protocol.

I am having same problem with the same equipment.

I have tried setting my PC as the "default" for all unmapped ports, and I have tried using several different proxies.

Some proxies I get connected, and when I start the transfer it makes all of the directories, but when it tries transferring the files It says "data transfer faild attempting alternate method" and then "data transfer failed" immediately after that.

Is this because I have yet to find a "good" proxy? I have had this same problem with all 10 that I have actually gotten connected with.

There has got to be a solution to this...

One solution with regards to uncooperative NATs is to make sure the specific rules get added prior to any and all "open" rules, eg. before the lines that go like "set nat add local-ip". That way you ensure that the right local-ip gets the request. Works well with my Cisco-routers.

okay, well for using FXP, what "specific" rules should be set to allow it to work properly?

I guess what I hear you saying is that you have site-to-site transferring working using NAT on your Cisco routers.

If you don't mind, please tell me the exact settings on both the router side and on the FlashFXP side that allow this to work for you..
