I am using alfresco 2.9, no clues about ftp port range in log files,
Can direct idea about the usage of the configuration?

I am using native server of Alfresco 2.9B
I just start 2.9B then use FTP Server functions, and test passive port range issue
So…. should I / can I switch to JLAN server?

I am not sure if 2.9B is running JLAN server or not, it seems that what I have studied about dataports is for JLAN server
but I don't know if alfresco 2.9B is running that or not.

Edit ServerConfigurationBean.java (repository project). Put code below in "protected void processFTPServerConfig(Config config)" for example after getting root directory and before ftp debug:


      // Check if a data port range has been specified

      elem = config.getConfigElement("dataPorts");
      if ( elem != null) {

         // Check for the from port range value

         int rangeFrom = -1;
         int rangeTo = -1;

         String rangeStr = elem.getAttribute("rangeFrom");
         if ( rangeStr != null && rangeStr.length() > 0) {

            // Validate the range string

            try {
               rangeFrom = Integer.parseInt(rangeStr);
            }
            catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
               throw new InvalidConfigurationException("Invalid FTP rangeFrom value, " + rangeStr);
            }
         }

         // Check for the to port range value

         rangeStr = elem.getAttribute("rangeTo");
         if ( rangeStr != null && rangeStr.length() > 0) {

            // Validate the range string

            try {
               rangeTo = Integer.parseInt(rangeStr);
            }
            catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
               throw new InvalidConfigurationException("Invalid FTP rangeTo value, " + rangeStr);
            }
         }

         // Validate the data port range values

         if ( rangeFrom == -1 || rangeTo == -1)
            throw new InvalidConfigurationException("FTP data port range from/to must be specified");

         if ( rangeFrom < 1024 || rangeFrom > 65535)
            throw new InvalidConfigurationException("Invalid FTP data port rangeFrom value, " + rangeFrom);

         if ( rangeTo < 1024 || rangeTo > 65535)
            throw new InvalidConfigurationException("Invalid FTP data port rangeTo value, " + rangeTo);

         if ( rangeFrom >= rangeTo)
            throw new InvalidConfigurationException("Invalid FTP data port range, " + rangeFrom + "-" + rangeTo);

         // Set the FTP data port range

         ftpConfig.setFTPDataPortLow(rangeFrom);
         ftpConfig.setFTPDataPortHigh(rangeTo);
      }

After this modification definition <dataPorts rangeFrom="50000" rangeTo="50100" /> in file-servers-custom.xml should work.
