Port Connection Issue?

[griffinkelly]

When I try to connect after running the server, it will never list the directories? It'll log in, but nothing more than that.

Facing the same issue. Does relate to the active passive port configuration. I'm wondering if it's possible to disable passive ports?

[griffinkelly]

I got it to work with Docker, however not really sure if it had to do with passive/active port configurations. The thing that did it for me was using a masquerade-address which is port address you're hosting your serving the docker container on.

@griffinkelly do you mind sharing some details. which steps are necessary to achieve your setup?

Dropped the ball here. Did you figure out your issue? Happy to help

👋 Sorry, I don't really have enough time to address this issue these days, but it seems like a pyftpdlib bug or misconfiguration, perhaps it's worth having a look at https://github.com/giampaolo/pyftpdlib issues and pull requests?

Hi, i'm having the exact same issue, i reproduce this dockerfile and just have the same behavior, but if I run it without the docker it works fine, then, i suppose, like @benpetsch said, could be a passive ports, then, i run the docker using -p 3000-3010:3000-3010 but doesn't work either.

BTW, I'm using filezilla to test it

I got the same problem here.

I can't visit it by ftp://127.0.0.1:21.

Here's the code I have used:
docker run -it --rm -p 21:21 --name ftp akogut/docker-pyftpdlib python ftpd.py --anon

Here's the code I have used:
docker run -it --rm -p 21:21 --name ftp akogut/docker-pyftpdlib python ftpd.py --anon

But if I open some ports for docker, it will work as expected.

Here is the right code to start docker image:
docker run -it --rm -p 21:21 -p 3000-3010:3000-3010 --name ftp akogut/docker-pyftpdlib python ftpd.py --anon

The biggest issue I've had is that the connection, either between pyftplib or docker will drop the connection after 10-15 minutes of using it. It'll reconnect then drop which leads to a frustrating experience.

[griffinkelly]

Ultimately this is what I ended up using:

options = {'sendfile': False, 'certfile': None, 'settings': None, 'host_port': '0.0.0.0:10021', 'verbosity': 1, 'traceback': False, 'passive-ports': "65000", 'masquerade-address': "0.0.0.0", 'daemonize': False, 'file-access-user': None, 'no_color': False, 'timeout': 600, 'pythonpath': None, 'keyfile': None, 'pidfile': None}

I opened 10021 and 65000 rather than 21, or antoher range.

Happy to see that other people got the same issue here.

Good morning, here is another one who had the same problem. The client connected but did not list the directories. After thinking about it a lot, I solved it with host network mode. Now it works as expected.
