When I try to connect thru ftp client to my proFTPD on port 21, the proFTPD refuse me before the authentication, this happen before I edit the configuration. This is the error : [R] Connecting to ftp.winstonjourney.com -> DNS=ftp.winstonjourney.com IP=66.150.227.167 PORT=21 [R] Connected to ftp.winstonjourney.com [R] Connection failed (Connection lost) But when I do a netstat -a, looks like proFTPd is listening on port 21 Can someone take a look at my configuration Code: # 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.

Can you post the output of Code: netstat -tap ? Please make sure your direwall doesn't block port 21.
