Anonymous FTP not allowed through TTU's Internet firewall


Symptoms

Unable to connect from the outside Internet to an FTP server hosted on TTUnet which allows anonymous access

Cause

For security reasons, effective September 10, 2009, the TTUnet firewall is configured to block incoming network traffic for anonymous FTP.

Resolution

Access the needed resources using a secure method of connection. Contact the service provider who hosts the FTP server if necessary and ask them if they support FTPS, SFTP, or other secure methods of connection.


OUTCOME

You will be able to access the necessary resources by using a secure connection method.
