I'm running Fedora Core 3, including SELinux. Today I attempted to upload some files to a web server for the first time, but I couldn't quite do it.
(Actually, my 'put' command seemed to succeed in blowing away the file I was trying to upate, since the web site I'd just agreed to try and maintain for someone stopped responding - I was updating the index.html file. I had to boot up my Win2K machine just to do the ftp.)
I can establish the connection and log on, but any command that uses the data port seems to fail. Here's a simple example session:
Code:
[bruce@localhost ~]$ ftp -d users.XXXX.net
Connected to users.XXXX.net.
220 www2.XXXX.net FTP server (Version wu-2.8.0-prerelease(1) Tue Dec 6 22:11:18 PST 2005) ready.

227 Entering Passive Mode (XX,80,60,21,108,140)

ftp>
(I've x'd out the server and username.)
The session just hangs after the "Entering Passive Mode ..." message. If I wait long enough, it just times out; this time I CTRL-C'd out of it. I get the same response if I do a "put" or a "get".
I was able to ftp successfully from the same machine after I rebooted in Win2K, so I'm guessing this has something to do with the firewall on the Linux side.
What should I do?
thanks,
Bruce
