The vsftpd behind NAT using 'pasv_address' option.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When we use "pasv_address=external-server-IP" in the vsftpd.conf file then switching to PASV mode in the FTP client leads to immediate connection reset. This behaviour is not observed when we assign to pasv_address "pasv_address=internal-server-IP" or "pasv_address=internal-server-IP external-server-IP".
