Hi Bill,

It's probably a firewall issue.
If your using iptables for your firewall (highly recommended over ipchains
for ftp stuff)
then be sure your firewall allows traffic on:

TCP 20 and 21
UDP 20 and 21

And that your iptables firewall script loads the following modules:

insmod ip_tables
insmod ip_conntrack
insmod ip_conntrack_ftp

Cheers,

Rob

Subject: proftpd problem



I've got proftpd-1.2.5rc1-1 installed on a 7.2 machine and it's up and
running.  Where the problem is is when I connect from my any machine behind
a firewall.  Here's what I get:

Current remote directory is /.
ncftp / > ls
connect failed: Connection refused.
Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode.
List failed.

I can pretty much do anything I want, put files, remove them, whatever, but
nothing ever shows up when I do an 'ls' which is a slight pain in the arse.

I know it's something to do with the firewall I'm behind (is there some
option when compiling the kernel in a firewall machine that can eliminate
this?), but the thing that really makes me scratch my head is that I can ftp
into other machines running this same version, but I don't have that
problem.

I've done a google search, but didn't come up with much.  Can anyone point
me in the right direction?

Thanks,

-Bill
