I'm trying to open ftp port on my linux box .. but I can't get it to work .. don't know
when i type: iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
it works .. but when i try to upload something or download something (using any account) from another windoze pc .. it refuses my connection

Originally posted by twantrd Hi, I think this is what you need:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
Try that and see if that helps....

The problem with FTP is that it uses more than one port. One port is used as the connection port and one is used as a data channel.
The data channel will vary. If active FTP is being used then the client can choose which port to use. If it is passive FTP then the server chooses. So one rule for FTP will not work.
