FTP connection problems. Strange.


Using vsftpd on the SuSE Linux 10.0 server, some clients are unable to list directories once connected while others work just fine. Very strange since FTP has only been around for decades Basic functionality should be working right by now!

Windows and SCO Unix work perfect with no user intervention.

NetBSD and FreeBSD will work if set to active mode before connecting.

Mac OS X and other SuSE Linux boxen will not work at all! They give a "Entering Extended Passive Mode" or something about "EPRT" (depending on passive/active mode) message, then just sit there.

Tried it with all firewalls off and that changed nothing. There's no filtering device between them. Googled around for several hours already and encountered lots of other people with the same problem, but no solutions (other than a couple cases where turning off firewalls helped).

Help me before I have to resort to moving the website over to a Windows server!

I'm using the same username/pwd from all the various boxen. What started this was being able to successfully synchronize sites, upload, download, etc. from a PC version of Adobe GoLive, but NOT from a Mac version connecting to the same username! So, that's when I started testing from command line on every box I could get my hands on. This worked on a SuSE 9.3 box that I used to have as a webserver (but it suffered a hardware failure that we still have not figured out, so have moved the site to our SuSE 10.0 server).
