    Howdy all,

    Firstly I'd like to say thanks to Falko and everyone else that puts in thier time here! I have my ISPConfig server up and running and all is well! I couldn't have done this without the website and all the people here! I have 2 out of the 4 websites up and running...email is working...and the number of attacks from China seem to be dwindling! YEA!

    I do have a small question (of Course)! When I try to log on via ftp (I'm using a Proftp server) I can connect but that is all...I can see that I have a connection but no further prompts or username queries or anything else happens and after 30 seconds or so I'm disconnected!
    This is probably a good thing as having ftp access would most likely gather more flies if you get my drift and now that everything is working as it should I am paranoid that someone will get in and crash or mess up everything!

    Yet it would be nice to be able to connect offsite and do a little work away from my home office!

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Sounds like a firewall or router issue.
    Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ? Which distribution do you use?

    Sorry all that I am comming back so late...vacation went longer than expected! YEA!

    Anyway is was a router problem as I can access ftp from the server address...192.168.2.100 with no problems! Since I am constantly being attacked from China and locally I am a little worried about allowing outside access to ftp even if it is secured.

    Thanks again to everyone!
