Hello everyone,
I am trying to set up my server so that files can be downloaded from the internet.
I am running Fedora 17.
I logged in as root and installed vsftpd using the following commands.
# yum install vsftpd
I modified the vsftpd.conf file so the following options are set
anonymous_enable=NO
ascii_upload_enable=YES
asci_download_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
ls_recursive_enable=YES
Then I restarted vsftpd with the following commands
# systemctl restart vsftpd.service
# systemctl enable vsftpd.service
I entered the following commands to open up ports 20 and 21
#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 20 -j ACCEPT
I restarted the iptables
# systemctl restart iptables.service
When I type
ftp://131.216.46.121 into the address bar of my browser on my PC, I get a "Connection has timed out" error.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
