Centos 5.2 FTP Problem

Hi all

I have a NAS drive that works like an FTP server and i want to use it to backup file from the Centos 5.2 box. Under windows i can connect to the NAS but under Centos i open terminal up and open an FTP connection i get the following:-

ftp> open
(to) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
220 NET Disk FTP Server ready.
500 Syntax error, command unrecognized.

ftp> dir

Do you use a firewall on the CentOS system?
What's the output of

Code:

iptables -L

?

 

[root@localhost ~]# iptables -L

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Please switch off the firewall and try FTP again.

 

you need the FTP connection tracking module loaded.

Code:

modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
