I have setup ISPConfig on Fedora 5 x64. Everything is working great, and FTP is kinda working but not really. WebFTP works fine. I can login and view files, etc. However when I try to use and FTP client like CuteFTP to connect, I get an error saying the server did not understand the command. Code: STATUS:> Getting listing ""... STATUS:> Resolving host name map-depot.com... STATUS:> Host name map-depot.com resolved: ip = 24.86.27.200.

Any help would be appreciated.
I found the problem. SELinux was off, as was the Fedora firewall, but the ISPConfig firewall was blocking the PASV ports. I opened up ports 60000 to 60005 and it worked.
FTP working with IP but not with Domain Would this be the same trouble and would it be TCP or UDP that I would need to open.
It'S TCP. But check the DNS records for your domain first with dig and make sure they point to the correct IP address.
