proftpd on OPENSUSE 11.1

I installed proftpd on my opensuse 11.1 and since I needed a personal FTP server, I followed the steps on "THE PERFECT SERVER" series.
I installed proftpd-1.3.2a, and everything on the installation went perfect, but when I try to log, after accepting the user name and password, it stops and I have this output: (from filezilla)

Code:

This is my proftpd.conf

Does anybody know how to resolve that MLSD problem?

 

Have you tried both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

 

Ok, so I found the problem It was the firewall. I had to disable it completely and the FTP works.
The question is, how can I add Profftpd to the list of programs in the drop down menu in the firewall? I tried adding the port 21, and it did not work.

Thanks for any help

 

Where? In YaST, or in ISPConfig, or anywhere else?

 

yes in yast. When I go to firewall setting there is a list of programs to be bypassed by the firewall, but proftpd is not in the list.
Any suggestions?

 

What's listed there? FTP maybe?

 

these are the things listed in the allowed services (I only have samba server, netbios server, and http server, selected to be allowed)
DHCP SERVER
FTTPS SERVER
MySQL SERVER
NFS CLIENT
NFS SERVER SERVICE
NIS CLIENT
SMTP with postfix
SAMBA CLIEN
SECURE SHELL SERVER
VNC
VNC SERVER
VNC Mini-http server
Zeroconf/bonjour multicast DNS
cups
dnsmasq
dnsmasq (dnsmasq-dns)
svnserve
vsftpd Server (which I tried adding and did not work)
xdmcp
xntp server

How do I add proftpd to this list?

and also, is there a good gui for proftpd?

 

Unfortunately I'm no SUSE expert...
