Backup using FTP - PASV Problem

[3Logics]

When i do a backup using the remote transfer, it seems DA cannot connect to the FTP. When i monitor the FTP server DA try to upload to i get Last Command : PASV and after a few second it timeout

DA -> CentOS 4.1

Remote FTP -> Win2k3 STD + IPSWITCH FTP Server


Every single Windows box from outside my network can connect to the FTP but either DA or if i use the FTP cmd at shell on my linux server, it doesnt work. I get the same error ... it stall at PASV

Any hint on how i could solv this ?

Thanks

You could try a manual transfer without passive mode, however I don't think this is really recommended, something else has to be wrong.

The normal command used to upload:
$NCFTP_PUT -t 25 -m -R -u $FTP_USER -p $FTP_PASS $FTP_HOST $FTP_RPATH/$DPREFIX $RTFILE >> /dev/null 2>&1
(taken from /usr/local/sysbk/internals/internals.sysbk)

You could try to go to active mode by adding -E.

Most likely if you can't use PASV mode, then you've got a problem at your firewall.
