can't access ftp server outside my LAN, fc4, ipcop, and static IP
 

HI,
I am using vsftpd on Fedora FC4 and have left the settings in the vsftpd.conf file pretty much as-is. I can access the ftp via my lan but not via the internet. I have IPCOP and have set it to forward port 20 and 21 to my server but it still doesn't work. I get the message:

windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.

details:
220 ftp server ready
530 invalid user

any thoughts?
Thanks
Daniel

what are we possibly supposed to say in response to this??? it says "invalid user"... :confused:

well, I can't log in with a valid user and I have set it up to take Anonymous users- so I doubt that is the problem. Just because windows says something in a box doesn't mean that it is the problem- infact it RARELY is! LOL It is my FTP and I can get to it with no problems via my local LAN, it is just when I try to access it using the external IP address as oppsed to the internal one.
Thanks

that is not windows saying "invalid user" that is yout ftp server. check the ftp server logs to see what it said about that error.

my log file is missing under /var/log

here is my vsftpd.conf file

anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
#enable for standalone mode
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Daniel

500 Unknown cmb AUTH GSSAPI

KERBEROS rejected as an authentication type.
