Hi, I just defined my first FTP account in ISPConfig3 but when I try to connect it timesout reading the directory. Here is the syslog and connecting client messages: Code: tail -f /var/log/syslog |grep pure-ftpd: --line-buffered May 1 17:48:33 web pure-ftpd: (?@?) [DEBUG] Couldn't load the DH parameters file /etc/ssl/private/pure-ftpd-dhparams.pem May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from 1.2.3.4 May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [auth] [TLS] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] TLS: Enabled TLSv1.2 with ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, 256 secret bits cipher May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [user] [user_name] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [pass] [<*>] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] user_name is now logged in May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [syst] [] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [feat] [] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [opts] [UTF8 ON] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [pbsz] [0] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [prot] [P] May 1 17:49:32 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [pwd] [] May 1 17:49:33 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [type] [A] May 1 17:49:33 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [pasv] [] May 1 17:49:33 web pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [mlsd] [] Error From Connecting Client: Timeout detected. (data connection) Could not retrieve directory listing Error listing directory '/'. I tried connecting with several FTP Clients but the connections times out. It looks like its connecting fine from the above message. I found a posting (post#4) suggesting the following action but I am hesitant since I do not know what it does: Any suggestions?
Ah... If I disable the firewall I get connected. So it seems is firewall related. I read something about "Passive Connections" so I will research the subject and give it a try.
Fixed! Here is what I did after google help To configure a Passive Connection in Pure-FTP: I was able to connect! Hope this helps others too.
i'm assuming this is just a typo and not a copy and paste from your firewall rules. but alerting here just in case, you may have a *lot* more ports open that you intended.
Hi nhybgtvfr, Yes is a typo: Thanks for noticing. I will see if I can edit the post. I opened 100 ports!
