Hi, i use lftp/vsftpd for backing up my servers. When i installed my scripts, i remarked, that no files are transferred via ftp. I openend Ports 21 and 20, but still no hope. Deactivating iptables does it, but i think this is comprehensable not my wish ;-) I can connect to my ftp-server, login works, but even doing then ls does bring any result neither in active nor in passive mode. Does somebody else have this too? Or, does somebody have a idea for this? Ah yes, i use lokkit for the config.
I think it might be because the firewall is blocking the higher ports that FTP would need to use, do you have ip_conntrack_ftp loaded?
