    I'm not sure what the problem is here. I can ftp from within the ispconfig interface.

    However if i try to use an external ftp client such as my browser or smartftp things like that. I can connect but it just hangs when it ties to get the folder list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I do appologize if this is a duplicate thread. I did search for an answer first. Didn't find anything that addressed this problem.

    I'm using proftpd with ispconfig (obviously) and suse 10.2.

    Thank You.

    Please try active and passive FTP mode in your FTP client.

    I trid both active and passive transfers. Both with the same result as described in the problem. Any other ideas?

    Is the line:

    Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

    at the end of your /etc/proftpd.conf file?

    Recently, i lost that line due a update of proftp.

    When i added the line again, proftp was functioning again..
    If you change something within your /etc/proftpd.conf do not forget to restart proftp.

    I just checked to make sure that the line was at the end of the proftpd.conf and restarted proftpd. The line was there though.

    # 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.

If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections# at once, simply increase this value.

Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf

    The above is what my proftpd.conf file has in it.

    Uhm... Can you post the contents again, but this time wrap CODE tags around it? Because right now nobody can read it.

    It's no problem. I got it working. It was a firewall issue. for some reason it just didn't like my router's built in firewall.

    I disabled that one and enabled the ispconfig firewall. all is working fine now.

    THank you.
