Proftpd error 425 after TLS.


I'm running Proftpd on my Fedora 5 server, all was going well, but I was not satisfied with the security. To solve this, I used mod_tls. Now when I try to connect, it logs in to the user fine, but then I get an error. Here is the output:
Code:
220 FTP Server ready.
       AUTH TLS
234 AUTH TLS successful
       PBSZ 0
200 PBSZ 0 successful
       USER admin
331 Password required for admin.
       PASS (password not shown)
230 User admin logged in.
       PWD
257 "/" is current directory.
       TYPE A
200 Type set to A
       PROT P
200 Protection set to Private
       CWD /
250 CWD command successful
       PORT 192,168,0,103,10,105
200 PORT command successful
       LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
       QUIT
425 Unable to build data connection: Operation not permitted
221 Goodbye.
Unable to make a connection. Please try again.
Thanks for any help.

Try to log in with lftp. This client is very complete from the security capabilities point of view.

Thanks, I'll try this out later when I get home, but just for testing. I need to get the FireFTP extension in Firefox to work. This FTP server needs to be easy to use for every one, and this is one of the easiest to use cross platform FTP clients.

Lftp worked perfectly. But if it matters, I was running lftp locally (through SSH) on the server, not over the network.

EDIT: Actually, I don't think I connected with ftps. This probably sounds stupid, but how do you connect with ftps in lftp

EDIT(Again): OK, I figured it out. When using FTPS, I cannot get a directory listing. Lftp does not work either.

I figured this might be a good thing to post:
Code:
# This is the ProFTPD configuration file
# $Id: proftpd.conf,v 1.1 2004/02/26 17:54:30 thias Exp $

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.

# at once, simply increase this value.  Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)
MaxInstances			20

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User				nobody

# This is where we want to put the pid file

Well i don't use ProFTP, but if you want security, take a look at vsftp, it's the Very Secure Ftp, and that's the server that runs kernel.org. I successfully did a fully encrypted connection + data with it.
