Ftp login on local host.

[turbo]

Hello, I am running Zpanelx on Windows 7, installation was a breathe.
I am using Filezilla or FilezillaServer which appears to connect to 127.0.0.1 using port 7080 with the message "ECONNREFUSED Refused by server" in other ports it looks like is going to connect but fails to recognize the password.

The reason I need to FTP localhost is that I am still not connected to the Internet with the server and I need to CHMOD a couple of directories.

Any ideas?, Yes gentleman, I have created not one but 2 FTP accounts on the Zpanel.

Thank you for your time, I truly, truly appreciate it.

Hi turbo, you do not need to connect to localhost, but you can connect to your local IP usually 192.168.XXX.XXX and you do not need internet connection at all.

This sounds like maybe you have not opened the correct ports on your internet router, check to see if FileZilla server is using Passive or Active mode first, in theory it will be using 'Active' by default meaning that you need to make sure you have both the following TCP ports open on your router and forwarding to your server:-

TCP 21 - This is the 'control' port
TCP 20 - This is the 'data' port

^ Most people get confused and assume that just opening Port 21 will be fine, you infact need to open both ports 20 and 21 for Active FTP to work properly!

If you are using 'Passive' FTP then you'll need to forward the Port range that FileZilla is setup to use.

If howevevr you connect to your server locally (using the internal IP address as Mango suggests) you shouldn't need to worry about port forwarding on your router etc.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
