IPTables and passive FTP

ahh thats fine then.. i didnt think anybody used anon ftp these days unless they wanted a server full of warez!

Thanks for the help, thats my last niggle sorted out now. Very happy

 

similiar problem

i hv the similar problem with proftp in opensuse 10.3. Everytime turn SuSE firewall on, proftp would stuck with 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||54790|)... i hate it!

so i just follow the solution in this thread:
1. edit /etc/bastille-firewall.cfg, add the port 50000:60000
2. edit /etc/proftpd.conf: comment out "Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf" and added "PassivePorts 50000 60000"

Restart proftpd and suse firewall...
But still won't work!

Any other idea what i can do to solve this thing out? thx for any help.

 

Thats what fixed it for me. Thats a massive port range to have open btw. I prefer them to be alot smaller.

 

If you can, use ip_conntrack_ftp which is intended for this purpose.

 

i went down that road and just couldnt get it working.

 

That's the problem of VPS, it's one of the reasons that made me change to a real physical server.
