can't upload with ftp from FC3
Sorry, to double-post, but I thought I might be more likely to get help here than in Linux-Security, where I first posted this question.

Did you also use the passive mode under w2k? If yes, then your firewall (and/or NAT) is causing problems.
You need to have the ftp conntrack for iptables. And I bet XXX= mega... :) Don't double post, the correct place for this thread would have been network as ftp is not linked to fedora and there is no security issue. |

I've found out that the server I was trying to connect to doesn't allow passive mode transfers, so I think the problem is with my firewall, i.e. if I have to use active ftp, it has to allow the remote server to connect to my data port. Are firewall questions security-related or network-related? I'd like to carry on this thread in the appropriate forum, I'm just confused ... And BTW ... how did you guess that domain name? Are they big in the hosting world? I'm new to all this and hadn't even heard of them before. thanks, Bruce |

Here is the IP adress ;) you could edit your post to remove it. Well, for me firewall not working fall under network configuration but I'm not maintainer of the website , you can put them in one of them (not both eheh) Anyway, you seem to know how active/passive command/data port in ftp work. If you also know how iptables works , grep google or linuxquestions for ftp conntrack, it is was you need. |

And actually, my problem turned out to be good ol' user error. I has assumed that since my ftp client reported that is was entering passive mode, that it had been in active mode before that. Not so. When I explicitly disable passive mode (by typing "passive") I can connect just fine. No firewall problem. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth ... - Bruce |
Not wasted bandwidth as I just experienced this same issue and your hint to enter passive mode was exactly what I needed. Thanks.
