Question

How to configure ProFTPd to return proper external IP address?

Answer

When a server is behind a NAT, ProFTPd returns internal IP address which could cause issues with FTP operability.

To avoid it, use ProFTPd directive MasqueradeAddress. To set it up, perform the following:

Connect to the server via SSH;
Add the directive MasqueradeAddress with the external IP address of the server to the configuration file /etc/proftpd.conf, for example:

# grep -ir 'Masq' /etc/proftpd.conf
MasqueradeAddress 203.0.113.2
