Using CuteFTP behind a router 

In most cases, CuteFTP does not have any problems working behind a router.  If you are 

having problems, try doing all your transfers in PASV mode.

F CONNECTIONS OR TRANSFERS STILL FAIL

: 

1.  Check with the FTP server administrator to  a

m ke certain the Server and it s network 

are configured to allow FTP in PASV mode.  

2.  Check your router documentation for information on how to set it up for FTP, or 

how to open the appropriate ports. FTP generally uses  port 21. 

3.  You can define a port range for CuteFTP to operate with under Tools   

> Global 

Options > Transfer Settings > Limit local port range from n to n. 

4.  You can try using UPnP (if your NAT or router supports it) to establish a 

connection properly. You can t

  urn on port mapping under the Tools > Global 

Options > Connection tab.

To perform transfers in PORT mode, or for secure transfers,  refer to your router s

documentation for information on how to configure the router for such trans e

f rs. 

If you are behind a NAT firewall, and the Secure FTP server is on a different 

network, you can only make data transfers in PORT mode using a Clear Command 

Channel SSL connection.
