Setup a new FTP server with vsftpd on my cent os box.

Followed this guide:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-f...tallation.html

Netstat shows its listening properly:
$ netstat -a | grep ftp
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN

and I put in lines in my IPtables list for it:

-A INPUT -p tcp --sport 21 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --sport 20 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 20 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

But its still not allowing connections. Any ideas? TIA!

Ok, have you tried disabling iptables totally to test this? Anything in your log files? Any error(s) from the command line when you try to connect? Which client are you using? On the same network, different network?? Details would help.

Srry I dont post much on here, thought I included a decent bit and figured Id get asked what I didnt.

log has nothing except my trial attempt from localhost to connect, which did work.

Same network. From a mac, which works fine to ftp to other hosts.

Seems my first test of iptables failed. I tried a diff way to stop it, and that did take. Also seems I didnt save the rules properly as they werent in after I saved and stopped.

They are in there now, but its not accepting with it on. The restart also loaded the ftp module properly it looks

iptables: Loading additional modules: ip_conntrack_ftp [ OK ]
