remote to remote FTP

ID=400010117

Hi. I cannot make transfering a file from one remote server to another work; I always have to copy the file back to my pc and then upload to server 2. I am sure this is a config issue with the ftpd on the remote servers rather than a smartFTP issue but as I own both the remote servers in question I would love any hints on what I should do to get this to work.
It is not a firewall issue and the two servers can see each other; I get this in the log:

source server:
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,134,8,10,237,247)
Transfer failed.

dest server:
PORT 10,134,8,10,237,247
500 Illegal PORT command.
Transfer failed.

Many thanks;

Hi, try using alternative FXP mode, for that you must have the 2 sites on favorites and edit it for alternative FXP.

Hi Aokromes; thanks for your reply. I have tried what you suggest and the logs now show:

Source:
PORT 10,134,8,221,159,217
200 PORT command successful.
RETR NotAnImage.jpg
150 Binary data connection for NotAnImage.jpg (10.134.8.221,40921) (4281 bytes).
550 NotAnImage: Broken pipe.
ABOR
Transfer failed.
225 ABOR command successful.

Dest:
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,134,8,221,159,217)
STOR NotAnImage.jpg
425 Security: Bad IP connecting.
Transfer failed.

Which is different for sure. I am alowed to ftp directly from source to dest by the way. The destination file is created now but is empty.

Cheers;
Jeremy

The second server don't allows FXP on any way... try checking settings on the 2nd site blocking FXP or pasv or "bounce connections"
