VSFTPD > 500 OOPS: vsf_sysutil_bind
 

Hi there!

I have a little trouble connecting to VSFTP/SUSE 10.
The server is behind a router, only port 21 is open for FTP. That's why I decided to use PORT instead of PASV.

////////////////////////////////////////
My vsftpd.conf is:

background=YES
text_userdb_names=YES

write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES

local_enable=YES

chroot_local_user=YES

chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

xferlog_enable=YES
vsftpd_log_file=/srv/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
xferlog_file=/srv/ftpxferlog
dual_log_enable=YES

connect_from_port_20=YES
ftp_data_port=21

idle_session_timeout=600

ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES

pasv_enable=NO
pasv_promiscuous=YES

pam_service_name=vsftpd

Well, I'd like to know what wrong do I do, or rather how do I really get VSFTPD to work through only port 21.

Thanx to all!
