    Hi!

    I've just setup ISPconfig 3. Everything is reporting correct, and pure-FTPd is running and listening.
    But; When i connect ( no matter which client program ), i get the "connection reset" error.

    /var/log/messages
    Apr 8 11:30:01 server1 pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from localhost.localdomain
    Apr 8 11:30:01 server1 pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout.


    Thanks.

    These message are not from your logins, they are from the ispconfig status monitor which checks if your ftp daemon is running.

    1) is the ispconfig firewall enabled?
    2) Please post the output of:

    iptables -L

    1) I think, i don't know how to check, but i can add firewall records in ISPconfig.

    2)

    Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination
    fail2ban-ssh tcp -- anywhere anywhere multiport dports ssh

    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination

    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination

    Chain fail2ban-ssh (1 references)
    target prot opt source destination
    RETURN all -- anywhere anywhere

    Ok, the firewall is off. Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client? What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    I tried both passive and active, but now i've found out that it might be a local problem. It's only a problem from my home network. The weird thing is that it's the only server i have problems with.

    netstat -tap:

    Do you maybe have a personal firewall on your client computer?

    Tried on several computers, with no result. also tried with a different router.

    When you connect from the local network, do you use the server's local IP address, or its public hostname or public IP?

    Tried both public hostname and public IP

    Ok, then I guess that your router somehow doesn't support loopbacks.

    Does it work when you use the local IP?

    I think you were right, i switched router, and now it isn't a problem any more!
    Thanks a lot, it's very kind of you Falko, to help newbies like me :)
