Hai
I am working in c networking in MS-DOS to connect with VSFTPD[COLOR=crimson] i am able to establish connection with it but i am unable to send file or retrive a file.

when i tried with windows cmd prompt telnet application to connect with vsfptd i get the same problem
i connected with ftp server as TELNET HOSTNAME 21
& got error as follows

220 (vsFTPd 1.1.3)
USER postgres
331 Please specify the password.
PASS postgres
230 Login successful. Have fun.
PORT 192,168,2,4,44,100

200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
STOR socket.txt
150 Ok to send data.
226 File receive OK.
421 Timeout.

if anyone knows solution please help me

first off, vsftp, stand for very secure ftp

command line access me be problematic, because it is designed for an ftp client, (a GUI)

ive had goos results with vsftp in a normal windows env using wsftp client.


if you are lokking for flexibilty to use command kine access (especialy using telnet)
(telnet access has been known to be used with malicious intent)
(so a program aimed at security, would most often limit, if not block access from port 23)
(were refering to very secure ftp)

try installing an older version of ftp on linux and set your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to accept ftp

also make sure the folders you are accessing are set to 755 permissions, if 755 dosnt work try 777

however you will be sacrificing security, but if security is not a concern, install an earlier version of plain old "ftp" on linux

sorry for typos

Hai thanks for your response

I tried with older version of ftp but still i face same problem message it got is as follows in telnet screen
