How to do an FTP Port Redirection on VSFTP

rridler · 12-04-2010, 04:19 PM

I am having trouble getting my FTP server to work now that I am unable to use the default ports because they are now blocked by my ISP.
I am using a Dynamic DNS service (no-ip.com) with port redirection.

What I am trying to do is redirect to a port of 18021 to my VSFTP server and have it respond with the apropriate service.
example: my-hostname is being redirected to my-hostname:18021

How do I set up VSFTP to listen to port 18021 and respond accordingly?

FYI, I also have Apache running on port 18080 on the same machine.

OS: Fedora 13
Kernel and CPU: Linux 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 on x86_64
Processor Information: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor 2850e , 1 cores
Apache version: 2.2.17-1.fc13.1
VSFTP version: 2.2.2-7.fc13

Thanks for the help,
R. Ridler

Hi,

You have to add in vsftpd.conf:

Code:

listen_port=18021

and make sure it's running standalone (i.e. you have LISTEN=YES)
