vsftpd not working
 

Hi,

I set up my vsftpd FTP SERVER based on some std literature on the net and books. I am able to get to the vsftpd server add and remove files and do all that from within the network. But when I try from outside it logs me in, autenticates me, but then does not allow me to either view files i have in the home directory or lets me add files. When I use a web browser it just times out.

The Client I use has a logging feature and the point at which it stops has this message.

Port 10,17,17,52,16,17
500 Illegal Port Command
LIST
425 Use PORT or PASV first
Do Dir List returned 0

The trace file succesully executes the PWD and SYST commands before hanging up on this. Any efforts to add a file also gives a time out command on the thread. I have port fwding on port 20 and 21 on my router.
I am also attaching my vsftpd conf file.
I dont exactly know what is wrong.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Pradhip.S

I set up vsftpd and I am able to login to the server, validate username and password, I see the files within the /home/usr/ folder in the server, but then does not allow me to open the files nor lets me add files.

When I try to open the file in IE it just times out. When I do 'Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer' in the Page menu I get the following error message:

If I try to ftp my server using Safari it just returs:
