ftp - could not retrieve directory listing

Hi

When using filezilla I can log in to a domain but when filezilla uses the list command I get the error

netstat -tap

gives the following:

where domain.tld is the right server Domain and xxx.xx.xxx.xx is my current IP on my computer at home.

I did restart proftpd with /etc/init.d/proftpd restart which gave me an [OK].

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

I restartet the whole server but still everything works but ftp.
Same error.

 

Code:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd restart

gives

 

tail -f /var/log/messages

 

What's in /etc/proftpd.conf and /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf?
Which distribution do you use?

 

Thanks for asking!

I use Fedora Core 3 and ISPConfig 2.2.5

/etc/proftpd.conf

/etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

 

I think your problem is that you have 2 Defaultroot statements in your proftpd.conf:

DefaultRoot ~ !adm
DefaultRoot ~

Try commenting out the first line, restart Proftp and see what happens.

 

I did comment it out:
#DefaultRoot ~ !adm

same problem after restart. :-(

 

Make a backup of /etc/proftpd.conf.
After that, format /etc/proftpd.conf to look like the below example. If there are extra config in your current file, just comment them out. Just make sure it looks exactly like the below example. Then run /etc/init.d/proftpd restart to restart proftp server.

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

 

restarting failed because there is no group "nogroup"

Do I have to create one? Where and how?

 

I think the group is called nobody on your system. Replace nogroup with nobody and try again.
