Hey. I can't get the ftpd that comes with 6c115 to work in passive mode behind a router.
It keeps insisting on using the internal IP instead of the external! Does anyone know how to change this? I can't find it in the man pages, and I can't find a config file.

nevyn@tango:~$ ip nevyn.mine.nu
nevyn.mine.nu = 213.67.220.128
nevyn@tango:~$ ftp nevyn.mine.nu

Typically this is handled by the router rewriting FTP responses. Alternatively, according to 'man ftpd.conf', create the file /etc/ftpd.conf and add the line:

advertise all <your_real_IP>

This changes the response to passive transfers to use the specified IP address instead of the machine's own IP.

IT WORKED! Aaahhh! Because the file ftpd.conf didn't exist in /etc/, I thought the system used another location for the ftpd configuration, like in NetInfo or something. It obviously accepted /etc/ftpd.conf, though! Thanks a lot! =D
