Issue with alternative Python FTP Server behind NAT

[premax]

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with newest EHCP 0.38.3.b.
The server is behind NAT. I've setup proper local IP ("local IP of server") and a proper public IP ("dnsip (outside/real/static ip of server)". I have also redirected port tcp/2121 on my router.

While there was no problem with vsftpd in such configuration before, the new python-based ftp daemon seems to not handle passive transmission in a proper way.

I have tried TotalCmd, FileZilla and Chrome. The connection seems to be establishing for a while but then it times out.

Here are my logs from Filezilla:

And ehcp_ftp log:

INFO:root:Ehcp ftpserver:Rebuilding/adding users:
INFO:pyftpdlib:>>> starting FTP server on 0.0.0.0:2121, pid=3154 <<<
INFO:pyftpdlib:concurrency model: async

INFO:pyftpdlib:83.28.210.220:62612-[xxxxxx] FTP session closed (disconnect).


*** SOLUTION ***

Now, it seems that pyftpdlib silently ignores EHCP setting of public IP address.
So now I am trying to add it manually do the /var/www/new/ehcp/ftp_server2.py script:

# Specify a masquerade address and the range of ports to use for
# passive connections. Decomment in case you're behind a NAT.
handler.masquerade_address = '81.18.xx.xx'
handler.passive_ports = range(61800, 61899)

And of course and proper NAT port redirections to my router config.

Now.. everything is fine. Connection established.


TO DO: pls add handling of server public IP to the ftp_server2.py script
