FTP refusing connection

[Billy Ashmall]

I have a snapConnect e10 linux box that I can ftp into when it is connected to the network by wire. I am now trying to instead connect to it by ftp through the MT100UCC-G2 GSM modem. The connection just gets refused. Being that the ftp works wired my guess is that there might be some configuration setting I need to tell the modem. Can you please help or point me in the right direction?

Thanx,
~~~BillyZ

Hi Billy,
I’m assuming that you are able to successfully establish a ppp link using the MT100UCC-G2. If this is correct could you issue the following commands to the linux box while the ppp link is up and post the output:
ifconfig
route

If the above is not correct (you are not able to establish a ppp link using the MT100UCC-G2), then we would want to look at your chat script, peer file and any command line options you are using when you start ppp.

Hi Billy,
It looks like the cellular provider is assigning your mobile device a private IP address. Addresses in the 10.x.x.x range are not accessible from the internet. I would recommend consulting your cellular provider and telling them that you need to support a mobile terminated data application and see if they can assign your device a public IP address or provide you with a VPN connection that would allow access to the private IP.
