qemu, ispconfig, proftpd can't login
 

Hi group,

I'm working on a customer's server and they require ISPconfig and secure FTP access.

Item 1: All is working execpt proftpd logins. I have followed http://http://www.howtoforge.com/vir...l-fedora-11-p2
and can get a local connection but it never asks for a password. Connection times out.

Item 2: Can not get to virtual machine from the outside. If I use the standard port 21, it works. I need to use another port which shows up on the local network but not anywhere else. I have opened the ports on the firewall of both Hypervisor and Virtual Machine.

fuser -n tcp Port -v
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
111/tcp: nobody 19189 F.... proftpd

From the inside:

nmap xxxxxx

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-09-18 15:45 PDT
Host is up (0.000011s latency).
Not shown: 987 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
. . .
2111/tcp open kx
. . .

From the outside:

nmap xxxxx

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-09-18 15:31 PDT
Host is up (0.00032s latency).
Not shown: 987 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp closed ftp
. . .

It show port 21, which is not running, but not the other port I am using.

So any ideas as to what is wrong? The log on problem is most confusing since I can't any error messages. Never even get a password prompt.

I got sftp access by turning off the firewall on thw VM, so Item2 is fixed.
