Hi to everyone . I have a big problem with my proFTPd . It don't work via external ip, it works perfectly only when I type ftp://192.168.0.178 . I have activated passive mode and forwarded these ports from router to 192.168.0.178 but it's same problem . When I type ftp://myglobalip it ask me for a password, and when I typed it don't do anything, just load. I've read maybe I have a firewall . How to config this firewall ? how to disable it ? My distribution is debian 5 lenny minimal installation . Here is my proftpd.conf Code: # # /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file. # To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications. # # Includes DSO modules Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf RootLogin off RequireValidShell off # Set off to disable IPv6 support which is annoying on IPv4 only boxes.

Maybe my debian 5 lenny have a default firewall or something? I already tried iptables -F , without any success.
I have a similar problem, perhaps the same. My problem is that I configured the passive ports bus the server arent using them First of all look for a line in ftp client conexión like this: 227 Entering Passive Mode (xx,xx,xx,xx,214,225) The last two numbers is the port that the client is going to use ((214*256)+225)=55009 In my case it is not the same one that the one I configured, so If some body can help me too....
