i have configured FTP as per above instructions.

now the problem is that my inside host access ftp with the private ip address of DMZ. and if i want them to access with the public address they will not. Any other host on the internet are accessing FTp with the public ip address but not the inside host

of course the inside host cant access the ftp through the public address because it is establishing the connection from the inside

and the nat statment u have map the public address for dmz network only

how should i do this ?

please help me.

Thanks

why u want the inside users to use the public ip while they can reach it through the private one ?

hi,

i just want to check if the FTP server is working from outside or not.

ok use any outside connection like internet cafe mobile

becasue if u dont need it u dont need to put ur self in complex issue this think a bit complex

to make sure ur config good u need to have

static (dmz, outside) a.a.a.a b.b.b.b netmask 255.255.255.255

OR

static (dmz, outside) tcp a.a.a.a ftp b.b.b.b ftp netmask 255.255.255.255

while a.a.a.a the public ip

accesslist 100 permit tcp any host a.a.a.a eq ftp

access-group in interface outside

also make sure u have the ftp inspection enabled on the defualt inspection policy

good luck
