FTP Woes

I'm in the process of setting up FTP on slackware 10.2...

I have it running and I can login via shell just fine
I can login via my windows machine if i use the LOCAL IP address in my LAN, but if I try to FTP in via my .com or its direct IP (the IP of my router) all I get is:

[R] Connecting to SERVER - REMOTE -> IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx PORT=21
[R] Connected to SERVER - REMOTE
[R] Connection failed (Connection lost)

Im using a Linksys WRT54GS router and I have port 21 forwarded accordingly...

any ideas?

your isp might block port 21 traffic, i know my ip blocks port 80. try opening a diffrent port on your router, to like port 3001, a nonstandard port, and then forward 3001 on the router to 21 on your server, just to see if that is the problem.

Are you using a passive ftp connection on your client? In the past I've had to open port 20 for FTP traffic as well as 21 in Slackware.

scrupul0us,

Do you have any entries in your 'hosts.allow' and hosts.deny' files?

Can you connect to your box over the internet using TCP (i.e. telnet or ssh)? If you can use ssh then sftp might be an option for you.

The one thing you need to determine is where the TCP connection is being refused (either your box, your router, or your ISP). You may need to use tcpdump or Ethereal to try and capture the TCP traffic to see who is refusing the connection.

Proftpd.conf settings are critical.
Anon access is disabled by default.
It may be trying to do a reverse lookup.
