In the Enumeration phase, I try to ftp to the 10.10.10.46 server. It succeeds but I get error while doing directory listing. I can confirm the vpn connection is proper, I have downloaded thepack newly and stopped/started multiple times. Can anyone help here?
ftp 10.10.10.46
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
425 Failed to establish connection.
Hi Kartym,
a FTP session uses 2 TCP connection:
1st → FTP commands and replies
2nd → Data
I suggest to check if your firewall is blocking the data connection.
Hi, @kartym
you need to turn on the passive mode by typing just passive. Then you have to type dir. Hope it will work.
I just wanted to say thank you @soumyadeep112 , After wracking my brains trying to figure out why i was having the same issue for the past few attempts.
Applying the passive switch fixed the issue.
I felt i kinda “cheated” myself by getting the backup.zip via a Filezilla client but it was irritating me that i couldn’t get the ftp cmdline to work correctly.

This worked perfectly well. Thank you @soumyadeep112 and @gproot
HI all of you,
passive mode works for me to execute the dir command. Unfortunately I get a Permission denied error when trying to get backup.zip. (passive and active mode)
ftp> get backup.zip
local: backup.zip remote: backup.zip
local: backup.zip: Permission denied
I allow ftp via ufw like so:
sudo ufw allow ftp
And I added a rule to open port 20 for the specific ip:
sudo ufw allow from 10.10.10.46 proto tcp to any port 20
Do I get this Permission denied because of my own configuration?
EDIT: Oh my bad, I figured it out myself. I was inside my root dir, after changing to my workspace I could get backup.zip normally.
well i have the same problem, but the thing is i’m using windows and the passive command doesn’t exist, so i have no idea what to do
It may indicate that the server does not immediately have the resources available to open a data connection. In this case, the client is encouraged to restart the FTP transaction and try again.
