FTP accouunt setting problem of Sentora

FTP accouunt setting problem of Sentora
Hello,

My ftp account was created on domain home directory. 

After having some difficulties to access to ftp I could connect to my domain ftp account with WinSCP but ended up with this error message. 

Server sent passive reply with unroutable address xXX.xX.xX.XX(My server private IP), using host address instead.

Timeout detected. (data connection)
Could not retrieve directory listing
Error listing directory '/'. 

This could be Amazon AWS instance problem but Sentora also updates and maintain a lot different path and directory permission form regular Linux.  This might be also Sentora issue.

I have also tried to test it from https://ftptest.net/  and got this result.

Error: Server returned unroutable private IP address in PASV reply
  • Make sure the server is configured to allow passive mode connections.
  • If the server is behind a NAT router, make sure the server knows its external IP address.
  • The range of ports used for passive mode must be opened in all involved firewalls.
  • The range of ports used for passive mode must be forwarded by all involved NAT routers.
  • Try uninstalling all firewalls and plug your computer directly into your modem, thus bypassing the router.
This might be my WinSCP Setting problem but don't what..

I tried to use FilleZilla and did not work. 

Can you help me out?

============================================
Somehow it worked on FilleZilla.

I only changed

FilleZilla Edit menu, Preference, FTP, Active mode , deselect "Don't use external IP for internal ...(D)"

After my WordPresss installation, it did not work anymore ...

Error: Connection got closed prematurely

from https://ftptest.net

And newly migrated WP site has database connection problem as well.

Error establishing a database connection

Sentora seems to have ftp related configuration and permission issues.

Check firewall and open ports.

PASV will fail if ports used for PASV mode are not open.

MySQL require 3306 open for localhost at least. For remote access you need to allow user for that.

Huh I have installed Sentora on both CentOS and Ubuntu (various versions) and FTP always worked. So, it leads me to believe it is your network or FTP client being misconfigured.
