    when loging in with web-ftp I get the following error:
    Code:
     Could not connect as user webmaster
    If I connect directly to the server using firefox I am able to browse the ftp directory with the user webmaster and proper password. (different computer)

    If I connect using SmartFTP v1.5 here is the following error message: (from a different computer)
    Code:
        SmartFTP v1.5.990.2
        Resolving host name "www.axiompvp.com"

        Automatic failover of data connection mode from "Passive Mode (PASV)" to "Active Mode (PORT)".
    
    If i use gFTP I am able to log in perfectly. (on the server itself)

    Any idea's on why web-ftp is not allowing me to connect? I have been working on this for about 2 days currently and any help would be amazing. I need to finish the website in as little time as possible. I also have my senior engineering finals this week so I am a little short on time to figure it out myself.

    Thank you so much for your help

    Server is set up using Perfect Fedora Core 4. I added programs and codec's in order to listen to music and watch movie and that is about it.

    /etc/pam.d/ftp:
    Code:
    #%PAM-1.0
    auth    required        pam_unix.so     nullok
    account required        pam_unix.so
    session required        pam_unix.so
    I checked to see if the ftpclients that could connect could also upload and they cannot. it is also extreamly slow.

    Have you tried both active and passive mode in your ftp clients?
    Might be a firewall problem... Can you post the output of
    Code:
    iptables -L
    ?

    thank you for the reply. Ish Liber Dich! <- about the only German I can write. I can only understand spoken.

    in my router I set the server to DMZ. I also took down the firewall on my laptop, router, and server. Still same result. Passive and active both will not connect. Error:
    Code:
