    Hello
    I had some errors to login in pureftpd server with TLS session enabled and filezilla with FTPES - FTP over explicit TLS/SSL

    after a litlle search in google found that the problem is the firewall.
    When i disabled firewall rules from ispconfig i can login
    So the solution that worked for me is

    first run as root
    Code:
    grep -i ftps /etc/services
    my results in debian 6
    Code:
    ftps-data	989/tcp				# FTP over SSL (data)
    ftps		990/tcp
    
    add port 989 in Open TCP ports in your ispconfig firewall records
    :):)
    works !!

    Hello
    I am not able to have FTP over Explicit TLS
    I have ftp over TLS, listening on port 21
    I would have ftp listening on port
    ftps-data 989/tcp # FTP over SSL (data)
    ftps 990/tcp

    But pure-ftp is listening on port 21 only

    Please advice
    Many thnx

    By default, FTP servers listen on port 21. When passive mode is used, then FTP opens a port that is within its configured passive port range after the initial connect:

    https://www.faqforge.com/linux/cont...ange-in-pure-ftpd-on-denian-and-ubuntu-linux/

    And in case that your intention is to force TLS for all connections, then alter the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/TLS and set the value to 2 on Debian and Ubuntu. On CentOS, you can find the TLS settings in the pure-ftpd.conf file instead.

    this is ok, this is working fine.
    But
    we have a mikrotik behind server.
    Sserver has public static ip, and there is a mikrotik that recognize protocol and opens up passive ports.
    when protocol is ftps (ftp over implicit/explicit tls) mikrotik is not able to recognize protocol.
    so we need ftps on port 990 on server, so we can point filezilla toward port 990 and we opens mikrotik on connections toward port 990
    We are not able to have pure-ftpd listening on port 990, this is the issue
    I hope this is not too much confusive
    many regards

    If you only want to use a different port (debian/ubuntu), do:
    Code:
    echo ",990" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/Bind
