ftp trouble
Hello,
I've recently set up an ftp server on my computer running fedora core 2. I used the "security level" tool to config iptables to allow ftp connections. When I try to log in from my laptop at work (also fedora core 2) I am able to log on to the server, but when I type a command (e.g., ls) I get the message: 227 Entering Passive Mode (25,96,112,10,236,254) ftp: connect: Connection timed out Interestingly, when I try to log in from Windows XP, there's no problem--I can see my directory, transfer files, etc. The trouble persists even when I disable the firewall on my laptop. Anybody have any ideas on what the problem is? It doesn't seem to be an issue with my server setup. Thanks, Matt |
Make sure your 2nd pc (the ftp client) is actually using passive mode,
and has the ip_conntrack_ftp & ip_nat_ftp modules loaded. These do the handshaking for passive and active modes and the extra ports required. do lsmod for a list of modules, & modprobe ip_nat_ftp to load both modules. |
Peter,
Thanks for your help with this. Intially ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp modules weren't loaded. I used modprobe ip_nat_ftp to load the modules, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the problem. Any other ideas? Thanks, Best, Matt |
