Hi,

i just installed RedHat9 over RedHat8. ftpused to be fine in RedHat8 but now when ever i try to conenct from a windows client machine i get

< 220 (vsFTPd 1.1.3)
> USER jed
< 331 Please specify the password.
> PASS *****
< 230 Login successful. Have fun.
> REST 1
< 350 Restart position accepted (1).

< 257 "/web/jed"
~ Login completed.
> PORT 10,10,1,67,7,143
< 500 Illegal PORT command.
~ Could not retrieve directory listing for "/web/jed/"

I can connect fine from Linux boxes without any problems. is this a new problem? I can't find any answers on the web. I have removed vsftpd from my pc, and re-installed it using apt-get.

I have a back up of my conf file, and i have left all settings a default.

Can SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

Try to turn passive mode off if your ftp'ing from Windows to Linux.

How do you do that? Windows ftp doesn't support taht or have any clue what i'm talking about. I'm also using LeachFTP and i dont' see any settings for that. any other ideas?

(EDIT)

I found out the problem. i have to USE passive mode evidently.
I found a setting in ie settings for using passive mode. it worked fine after that. THANKS!

I'm not familiar with LeachFTP but most FTP programs in Windows like WS-FTP and SmartFTP have these options to not use Passive when transferring. I'd check with LeachFTP's manual or documentation if it has this option, or how to enable/disable, etc.
