Folks,

My first posting in this group...I've installed SUSE 10.2 on two
VMWare virtual machines. One one of them, I've installed pure-ftpd. I
can ftp to localhost but when I try "ftp 192.168.1.1" where the ip
address is the address assigned to eth0 on the vm, I get the message:


"Connected to 192.168.1.1.
425 Sorry, invalid address given
ftp>
"


When I try to ftp from the other virtual machine, the connection
simply times out and I get the message:
"ftp: connect: Connection timed out"


Note that I am able to ping from one vm to the other vm.


It's probably some elementary issue.... Any help would be highly
appreciated.. Thanks!

Did you configure any firewall that prohibits ftp connections?

But as far as I remember you have to specify the interfaces proftpd listens to.

1. firewall
2. routing
3. nat or bridged?
4. ftp service started at all?

was the address in use before maybe?

I made sure firewall is not turned on.
I am using host-only networking. If I use NAT or bridged network connections, I am not even able to ping one vm from the other.
I have made sure pure-ftd is running on the target vm.

What should I check wrt routing and how?

Thanks for your responses!

whoami_2007,
Did you get it working?
Do you need add'l help?

odcheck, What did you have in mind for checking routing?

hello try option (-H)dontresolve
pure-ftpd -A -H -E -p 40000:50000 -c 20 -C 3 -I 5 -u 1 &
