Cannot connect to anything outside my NAT router

I just installed the 979 build and can no longer connect to anything outside my NAT router. Where can I find the 978 Full install download so I can fall back to something that works for me?

Hello,

Instead of downgrading to an older build, why not supply a
log, this way we can see if it's an issue with the new build.

And please take a look at the bug-report Read Me, and
supply the missing information you haven't supplied.

Please post the log of your FTP session.

Incomplete bug report like yours are usually not accepted.

Sorry. I wasn't intending it to be a formal bug report; just wanted to roll back to build 978, but here goes...

My FTP session log is as follows:
------------------------------------
Resolving host name ftp.dsear.org...
Connecting to (ftp.dsear.org) -> IP: 69.61.8.164 PORT: 21
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...


I realize it appears the server is refusing the connection but I've not experienced this prior to build 979 and can connect fine using command line FTP. I've have UPnP disabled [because I'm paranoid] in my LinkSys BEFSR41 (but it also failed when I enabled it).

I dont think this has anything to do with the recent changes
because they only come to action for a data connection.

Conclusion:
1.0.978 won't solve your problem.

Is the 978 build available somewhere so I can see for myself? I was able to connect with 978 just yesterday AND I can connect with command line FTP today.

Once you have successfuly connected to an ftp server, then when it's
time to perform a listing of the servers folder/file(s), then UPNP comes
in. So basically, connecting to a server, is unrelated to listing contents.

By the way, I also have the same model router as you. (Befsr41 rev. 2).
And haven't experienced any problems, when connecting to an ftp server.

Here is an example of UPNP taking place:

[15:27:42] UPNP: Added Port Mapping: Router:40413 -> 10.10.10.10:40413
[15:27:42] UPNP: GetExternalIPAddress returned: "195.141.90.6"
[15:27:42] PORT 195,141,90,6,157,221
[15:27:42] 200 Port command ok.
[15:27:42] Opening data connection IP: 195.141.90.6 PORT: 40413.
[15:27:42] LIST -aL
[15:27:42] 150 Opening ASCII data connection for ls /.
[15:27:43] 755 bytes received successfully. (755 B/s) (00:00:01).
[15:27:43] UPNP: Removed Port Mapping: Router:40413
[15:27:44] 226 Transfer finished successfully. Data connection closed .

As requested, information on an older build of SmartFTP:
https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/175

Well, all I know is that I am able to connect just fine using Build 978 on one machine behind my router but cannot connect on the machine I installed Build 979 on. Both machines go thru the same router and both were able to connect Monday using Build 978.

In light of this, I'd like to try re-installing Build 978 on the machine I had upgraded to determine why Build 979 won't connect for me. Where can I find a copy of the Full 978 build? Unfortunately, I'd been using the "Tools|Update Check" mechanism since build 975 so I don't have the full build on hand.

An older version of the full setup is not available for download.

Just overwrite the files in your SmartFTP installation path, with
the "rel0978.cab" file, then you are completely downgraded.

Again, here is the the KB article on obtaining an older build.
https://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/175

I was able to get build 979 working by fully uninstalling it, deleting all registry entries for it and re-installing the full build. Not sure what happened to break it (I have used the "Tools | Update Check" since build 975).

Oh well, at least it's fixed. Thanks again for the help. Great product!
