    Are there any errors in your logs? What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    and
    Code:
    ps aux|grep -i apparmor
    ?

    Oh and this is what i see in SmartFTP from a remote computer:

    Code:
    SmartFTP v1.5.991.32
        Resolving host name "**.***.***.**"
        Connecting to **.***.***.** Port: 21
        Connected to **.***.***.**.

        PWD
    257 "/" is current directory.
        TYPE A
    200 Type set to A
        PASV
        An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
        Server closed connection
    
    so possibly someone can tell the problem from that

    Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client? Might be a firewall problem.

    I can not transfer at all, i get on then defore the directory loads it kicks me off...
    EDIT:
    when i do
    Code:
    [i]ftp localhost[/i]
    it works so i think there is a problem with accsesing it out of the firewall

    Please switch off the firewall and try again.

    Um i think i located the problem, the passive ftp does not work, i can log in but when i run the ls command its hangs.
    it configured the ftp to only use port 6111 for passive,
    then i forwarded it on my netgear router to 192.168.1.25, my suse server
    but it still does not work!! i know ftp server works becuase i can do transfers from within the network but i can't transfer from out side
