I've setup a proftp server on Debian behind a firewall on a private ip address. Set iptables to forward tcp 20,21 to the box. Connections from outside world are present with the banner, login and when they try anything it says
Thanks for your reply. I switched the FTP client into passive mode and it works.. YAY! Thank you so much for pointing this simple thing to me, i feel a n00b.. Ive been so busy I haven't been able to think
Heh, no worries, I've worked a lot on FTP systems and have seen soooooo many problems like this and I still have to stop and think about PASV versus ACTIV!
Could you push that "thanks" button that shows up under the post, I'm trying to figure out how that affects my profile (I'm also a Linux Questions newbie!)
