Sounds like you have other issues apart from proftpd. You really need to test it internally using your local IP address from another local machine. Once its working there, then you can tackle the bigger problem of getting in from outside. Offhand, Id say your router/firewall doesn't understand FTP and so is not letting the data connection through. If you configure proftpd to use Passive ports, then you can tell your firewall to allow those ports through unfiltered. Also, when testing from outside, you will need to switch on passive FTP in the client you're using. Having gone through playing with firewalls and proftpd myself, Ive had to learn more about FTP then I ever wanted ;-) -- GPL /G-P-L/ n.
