This needs to be shared with you guys. I'm pretty sure that it issue is with the firewall but here goes. I have a FTP server at a business. It has a local address of 192.168.1.250. The firewall (Linksys some model that is discontinued) forwards ports 20, 21, 22, and 80 to that IP address. I'm running VSFTPD which is great. I've never had any problems with it in any other installation. It's simple, real easy, it works, I'm very comfortable with it. The problem is that when I connect to it using a Linux OS, I can't Windows is fine. 2000 client using CLI, Explorer, Filezilla Mac OS Classic using Fetch is fine Mac OSX using Finder is fine Linux bombs using gFTP, J-FTP, LFTP, CLI If obviously can't route which makes me think it's the firewall. Here's the dumps. gFTP 220 (vsFTPd 1.1.3) USER username 331 Please specify the password. PASS xxxx 230 Login successful. Have fun. TYPE I 200 Switching to Binary mode.
