FTP only on 127.0.0.1

The ftp server in the module documents only listens on 127.0.0.1. How can I change this?

I even uninstalled the document module and reinstalled it to run the wizard, changed the ip, restarted openerp-server and openerp-web and still it only listens to 127.0.0.1

Same problem here...

No answer from openerp team? So try using something else or pay an expert. I think odoo offered ftp that worked when it worked if you know what I mean.

Are you trying to install it on a linux desktop after the numerous installs I have done with this system I think the ftp may work slightly better / different on a server install as opposed to a desktop / laptop install.

But I am with you on this and understand your pain! Hope you get it sorted.

My install is on a linux VPS server.

Same issue here.

I'm running OpenERP v5.05 under Ubuntu 9.10 server.

Apparently, the issue comes from the fact the FTP python server is binding on localhost when starting instead of *.

You can check this with the following linux command:

netstat -a

You will receive something like TCP 0 0 localhost:zope-ftp

A normal result should be TCP 0 0 *:zope-ftp.

Its normally configurable but until now I didn't find the way to fix it.

Thanks if someone from the OpenERP team could help on this one.

Regards

We are running on fixed ips no dhcp.

in the openerp book p406 (pdf p410)
install modules document and board_document, the system automatically proposes to configure the document management system.
try to uninstall reinstall this 2 modules or read the doc for more info :

I did that and still things do not work for FTP. Do you have ftp working on this version?

you can have a fixed IP and have the dhcp to run, have you try ? (uninstall, install modules too after).
My version 5.0.7 windows, but even with linux try dhcp to run.

I had the same problem. I fixed that in modifying addons/document/ftpserver/__init__.py like this :

Code:

def run(self):
        autho = authorizer.authorizer()
        ftpserver.FTPHandler.authorizer = autho
        ftpserver.max_cons = 300
        ftpserver.max_cons_per_ip = 50
        ftpserver.FTPHandler.abstracted_fs = abstracted_fs.abstracted_fs
        if PASSIVE_PORTS:
            ftpserver.FTPHandler.passive_ports = PASSIVE_PORTS

        ftpserver.log = lambda msg: self.log(netsvc.LOG_INFO, msg)
        ftpserver.logline = lambda msg: None
        ftpserver.logerror = lambda msg: self.log(netsvc.LOG_ERROR, msg)

        #HOST = self.detect_ip_addr()
        HOST = '*' # MODIFY HERE
        address = (HOST, PORT)
        ftpd = ftpserver.FTPServer(address, ftpserver.FTPHandler)
        ftpd.serve_forever()

I hope it'll help you...

I installed trunk versions of server and web client this weekend and initially ftp was only served on 127.0.0.1 and not the external interface.

Adding "ftp_server_host = 192.168.0.7" to my openerp-server.conf file fixed.

This feature is intentional and will stay there.FTP is restricted by default to the localhost (for security reasons).
