bind to external ip problem
i am using the latest version of flashfxp (2.0 build 900) [shareware]
i have trouble connecting to some ftps because I am at college behind a firewall... most ftps either require i have pasv mode enabled or require that i have it disabled. a handful of them don't work either way though.
i figured out the problem was that when it was trying to open the port for a directory listing, it was using my local ip address in the PORT command. so if i tell FlashFXP to use my external IP, it uses the right IP in the PORT command.
the problem is, this FTP still work. it still freezes at opening port for directory listing, and i'm pretty sure that it's because i'm not in passive mode. however, if i try enabling passive mode, it says
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,2,121,111).
which is definitely wrong. that's not even my local ip :-/ shouldn't that be the address i put into 'bind external ip'? it's not. how can i fix this?
