Can someone please help me?
I am using an ancient version (1.27) of Moylan's FTP. on eCS version 2.0.
My global IP is 73.79.242.xx (didn't give the last number intentionally. It is a Comcast number.
My netstat -a showed 10.0.0.245 until a week ago.
All of a sudden it now shows 10.0.0.120.
I am using DHCP
I have run ftp-pmoylan\setup.exe and changed every parameter I could find from 10.0.0.245 to 10.0.0.120
I use FTP to backup my customers data as follows:
I connect to their network using Cisco AnyConnect
I use Oracle VirtualBox to run eCS as a virtual.
I back up their data to a drive (E: or F:)
Then I go to a Command prompt on the above drive and type
FTP 73.79.242.xx (actual number)
It connects. I log in and enter password, then
Send myBackupFileName
THIS HAS BEEN WORKING FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.
I have made no changes to either my system or theirs (other than the ftp-moylan 10.0.0.245 ==> 10.0.0.120 in setup.exe on my server)
All of a sudden it won't connect. I get message
"Connect to server failed, server may be down."
From their system, I can ping 73.79.242.xx
Tracerte 73.79.242.xx gives me reasonable-looking paths ending in a comcast location before * * *
FTPTRANS.LOG on my server shows an entry
****** Transaction logging started or restarted
Server started
Then it just dies and above "Connect failed ..." message appears on their machine.
What am I doing wrong? What have I missed?
How can I make sure my server is running?
What is its address (10.0.0.120 or something else?)
