Hi,

im trying to get an ftp server going on a dedicated server. I installed vsftpd fine, and got it setup fine - it all works fine locally through the console (ftp localhost). But when i try and ftp to the server externally the user/pass is accepted but it then fails to list the directory...

for example in cyberduck the transcript is:

Code:
USER ftp
331 Please specify the password.
PASS ********
230 Login successful.
SYST
215 UNIX Type: L8
PWD
257 "/"
NOOP
200 NOOP ok.
CWD /
250 Directory successfully changed.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (217,147,94,95,159,61)
and it fails giving the error:

Code:
network error: connection failed
/
operation timed out

can anyone offer any help where to start with this?

Cheers.
C.
