vsftp users can log in, but then can't ls or anything!
I have an FTP server, where the users are able to log in, but then when they do a ls, they get a 425 Failed to establish connection after a short pause. Any ideas?
Port 20 is used for DATA transfer. Please check that your firewall if any doesn't block it, furthermore, check that chroot_local_user markes as YES in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
Actually, its weird, if I try to ftp from a command prompt, i get a "200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV" then the 425. but if i connect with Filezilla, everything works.
I tried turning off iptables and still a no go. so it must be client related, although they've been using the same client all along, i wonder what changed

Not a while ago I had to set FileZilla server on one of the Windows Server 2012 machine and I had to change the Data transfer port to 20 instead of the random ports they supplied ( in the configuration ).
