So, for instance, if you're running multiple tasks and don't want CrossFTP to hog up your entire bandwidth, you can use the limiter to limit its bandwidth usage. Likewise, you also get a speed limiter to limit the bandwidth consumption required during file transfers. I would recommend to use sftp instead, which is support by FileZilla too and which only needs a SSH server on the other side (which you probably already have because you forward to port 22).One such unique CrossFTP feature is scheduling, which comes in handy when you need to move items later. If this is possible depends on your setup.Īnyway, FTP is an ugly protocol if port forwardings or firewalls are involved. This might work if the Ubuntu 14.04 system inside the VirtualBox can access the host system (12.04).

The server will then try to connect from port 20 to this port.

Active mode: Here the client opens a listener on a random port and informs the server about this port.

Since the client does not now that 10.0.2.15 is the server and since port 57589 on the server is not accessible from outside the connection will fail. In this case the FTP server allocates a random port on the server and tells the client IP and port using the response to the passive command. There are two ways to open this connection:

But to transfer files or directory listings FTP opens another connection. Simple port forwarding is not enough for FTP.įTP has a control connection on usually port 21, which you successfully mapped to port 8181.

Now i am using FileZilla in my host OS in order to access into the guest OS. I have installed and configured VSFTPD on Ubuntu 14.04 and forwarded the virtualbox port's as follows:

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 as the host and installed Ubuntu 14.04 in the Virtualbox as Guest OS.
