ftp server problems

[Per Kårehed]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a server on my G4, OS X 10.2.6 and I'm having
trouble doing so... :-(

I'm using CrushFtp and sitting in a small network with a D-link router
connecting us. So, I have problem when trying to connect to my server.
If I look in CrushFtp everything seems ok and it says someone is
connected, and I get a welcome message when using fetch:

220-Welcome to CrushFTP!
220 CrushFTP Server Ready.

230-Valkommen till Per Kareheds ftp-server! (welcome to...)
230 Password OK. Connected.

But still, i don't get a listing of files in fetch and sometimes (not
always) after a while Fetch says something like "are you behind a
firewall bla bla bla.. use passive mode"

I've opened port 21 in my firewall and tried connecting with both
passive mode and non-passive. Also tried opening port 20, but with
same result.

If anybody has had the same problem and know what to do about it I
would really be grateful for help.

Thanks!

You need to open SEVERAL ports on an FTP server. Generally speaking, on the
server side, ports 20 and 21 and all ports greater than 1024 should be opened.

I'm trying to set up a FTP server using vsftpd. Everything works fine as long as I connect via localhost, but external hosts can't seem to connect to my server. Connecting using the internal IP (192.168.0.3) from another system connected to the same router works.

My router (NETGEAR DG834) is set up to forward ports 20 and 21, plus 3000-3050 for PASV. My vsftpd.conf looks as follows:


listen=YES

anonymous_enable=NO
dirmessage_enable=YES

connect_from_port_20=YES

nopriv_user=vsftpnpu

local_enable=YES
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/root/vsftpd.user_list
chroot_local_user=YES

pasv_min_port=3000
pasv_max_port=3050

xferlog_enable=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES


Any ideas?

my vsftpd-setup works fine, see below the differences in the
config-file, (and are you running ipfw or pf or ipfilter on the
ftp-server itself ?), HTH
