Description

Until a recent update, I was having no trouble connecting to a FOSCAM camera, but now it fails. I've tried forcing active connections, but filezilla insists on going into passive mode. There are no firewalls between me and the camera. All traffic is going over an always on VPN. Here's the log details:

As you can see in the log, passive mode is not required, the client falls back to active mode after the server rejects passive mode.

It looks like your VPNs routing tables are not setup correctly on the server, breaking active mode.
