vsftpd problem
Hi, I have installed fedora4, and for ftp i'm trying to use vsftpd.
the vsftpd daemon seems to be running o.k. and I can ftp from the same system (just to check if ftp is working) but when i try to ftp from Windows through smartftp, or editplus, it fails. It seems to establish connection at first, but then i get a timeout. In case of smartftp i get the following message: " A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host." any suggestions on how i should configure vsftpd.conf, or any settings? I would appreciate your help! thank you!! |
Have you checked your firewall settings (you need to enable ftp) and selected your network card as a trusted device.
|
iptables -F
or service iptables stop & then checkback again. |
thank you so much!! i did "iptables stop", and I am able to use ftp.....
how can i permanently disable iptables? |

If you are running X, the easy fix is to modify System Settings > Security Level and set ftp as a trusted service, which will add a line to /etc/sysconfig/iptables opening port 21 to new inbound tcp traffic. |

Disable iptables in run-level 3 4 & 5. But it will come into effect on the next restart. |
