Question FTP not work in local network

vardar

New Pleskian
Hi, I have some problem connecting via ftp.
I connect from one PC to another through the local network (from IP 192.168.1.4 to IP 192.168.1.5) so I have no problem opening ports on router.
If I try to make a passive connection, I get an ECONNREFUSED error and I just can't connect. If, on the other hand, I try in active mode, the connection is successful, but I get a "425 Unable to build data connection" error during folder reading.
Can anyone suggest anything?
 
Hi vardar,

Have you tried to connect to the external/public IP-address from the internal network (if it is accessible)? Is NAT used in your configuration? (if yes, check "/etc/proftpd.d/50-plesk.conf").

My FTP connection is between two pc connected to the same local network. From the pc with ip address 192.168.1.4 I would like to connect to the pc with address 192.168.1.5. if i try to connect from external pc, opening port 21 on router, the connection times out.
