    What FTP client do you use? Do you use FTPES in the client?

    i am using filezilla and flashfxp both of these worked on this setup on the old server....so all of the settings are correct

    this is a new setup but configured the same as the old setup this goes back to this post http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56111

    could never get it squared away so i just built a new box

    ok i now have connection to the ftp using tls only as described in this link http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-con...n-ubuntu-10.10

    once you have configured the proftpd as the howtp says then follow the rest that needs to be done

    this what the howto leaves out. you need to open some ports by adding a file called PassivePortRange to /etc/pure-ftpd/conf and then add a range of ports i have used the ones below. you can use what ever ports you have open

    Code:
    50000 51000
    
    then also add a file named ForcePassiveIP to /etc/pure-ftpd/conf and add you server ip

    Code:
    server ip numbers
    then restart proftpd

    Code:
    /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart 
    now you should be able to connect to the ftp using tls connection

    So you run your FTP server behind a router (probably at home/work)?

    Servers in a data center normally don't need the PassivePortRange.

    yes this is behind a router at home.

    Also if you created firewall rules in ISPConfig3 open those ports on firewall: "System" -> "Firewall" -> Click on the first record -> And add "50000:51000" to the end of TCP input.

    This solved it for me, thanks kwickcut.
