[Solved] Ftp Connect Not Working - Ip Blocked?

[dl5ark1]

Hello,

sometimes my upload with wput is not working (last 14th August 2016 03:30 UTC). Client connects, but then nothing happens. If i change my IP address, the uploads will run again for about 10 hours. The problem comes back.

Please can you look in your logs, if the server supposed an DOS attack?

Can you help me with my account dl5ark?

What ip are you using when it's blocked?

[dl5ark1]

37.83.166.212

That IP is indeed blocked: # FTP 202 connections - Sat Aug 13 20:29:34 2016

An admin will unblock it.

You're unblocked. What do you use so many FTP connections for? 10 hours and 200 connections is an average of one connection every 3 minutes.

I use FTP to upload data from my weather station. Please can you whitelist my USER, because the IP is an DHCP IP address.

Cool, I figured it was something like that.

You're already white listed. It's not currently possible to white list by username, but you can just let us know if your IP changes.

[dl5ark1]

My IP changes at least 1 time per day.

In fact, it's changed 3 times since you posted this topic...every one of your posts is from a different IP.

 

@Krydos: What can we can do about this aside from recommending he move the weather station to a static IP?

[dl5ark1]

Do you have News for me?

[Krydos]

Would it be possible the route your ftp connection through a static IP proxy?

If you're curious, in the last week you've connected to FTP from 66 different ip addresses.

[dl5ark1]

I do not know any FTP Proxy and i think it is not secure to use such a Proxy because my Username and Password will be transmitted in clear text.

[dl5ark1]

Is there another way?

[Krydos]

I made some modifications to our firewall. Let us know if you get blocked again.

It looks good. Thanks!
