Can't use CoreFTP externally - DNS issue?

[SamAndrew]

I have setup CoreFTP and it was working (with WinSCP as client) for about a week.

THEN I tried (and failed) to setup RRAS on my server. Ever since then, CoreFTP has not worked externally. I have completed uninstalled RRAS role and feature, but to no avail.

I can use CoreFTP on the server locally by using localhost 127.0.0.1 and my NAT address (192.168.1.31) BUT I cannot use my server's external IP. NOTE: I use no-ip.org for a Dynamic DNS service (since I do not have a static public IP).

Can some one help me here?? Thanks!

I cannot even use it to get to CoreFTP on my server itself. That is, when I open WinSCP and input my no-ip.org address, it times out. BUT if I use the server's NAT address (192.168.1.31), it works.

Are you trying your external IP directly?

(get your external ip - coreftp.com/misc/myip.php


If you can't connect via that, then it's some kind of routing issue external to Core FTP Server, or your router needs to port foward port 22 to 192.168.1.31

Thank you. I have routed port 22 to my server's IP (192.168.1.31). I can use it's own address (192.168.1.31) in WinSCP and it successfully connects to CoreFTP. However, I cannot use the external IP or the DNS forwarder to the external IP. I know the DNS forwarder is working properly and is updated because I can RDP into my server externally.
