Lightbulb Unable to connect to Server machine from a client machine using ftp service


Hi,

Could you please help me with the below issue..

I'm running RHEL6 OS on both server (192.168.0.10) and client machines (192.168.0.1).

I'm trying to connect to server from the client machine using ftp service.

I have installed vsftpd daemon on both the machines.

I'm getting the below error. Please help me with the below issues.

500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/server
Login failed.
ftp> ls
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Passive mode refused.


[root@Client ~]# ftp 192.168.0.10

not enough to install vsftpd, you also need to configure it. What have you made? Do you have firewall?

The error
Code:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/server
Login failed.
is appeared when SELinux is enabled. Disable SElinux first using
Code:
$ setenforce 0
Restart vsftpd and try to connect again.
