This is probably a problem with the firewall. Did you open ports 20 and 21? And if you are using passive ftp you should open some ports in the high range, so there is a hole in the firewall for vsftpd to use. You have to tell vsftpd to use those ports in the configuration. I also had to open the service on my router, but that might not be an issue for you. If I recall correctly, there is a logging function that can be turned on and it is really useful for decoding where the problem is and what it is too. It's been a few years since I used vsftpd, so this is somewhat hazy. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
