200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.

Try turning passive mode on, as the message says. If you're using the command-line ftp client, simply type 'passive' (you should get a dialog back saying passive mode is on).

and I dont find any FTP service in Administrator->Server Settings ->Services

That has nothing to do with your ftp client. That's for turning on a ftp server (which I'm pretty sure you don't want to do).

You're still not using passive mode. Check your browser settings to see if you can force ftp transfers into passive mode. If not, copy the link and do the transfer from a terminal window.

The 'no route to host' is a little strange. What does netstat -rn show you? (Put the output of that in <code> blocks so that it is readable.)

Are you saying it works from a terminal, but not from a web browser?

If so, check to see if you've configured any proxy settings for your browser.

yes , i set a proxy server, but this proxy server is also configure with my windows systems.

No it doesn't work from the terminal window. I checked that FTP link that is working fine.
there is some problem in my system

Well, you're able to cruise the web without problems (is that true?) so presumably your nameservers and default gateway settings are correct. You are getting a somewhat vague "Connection Failed" error. Are you filtering any outbound traffic on your Linux box (via iptables) or perhaps at the router?

Double-check the proxy settings against one of your Windows boxes.

ya everything is working fine , only the problems comes in FTP

I dont know , may be you r correct, but how can i check my outbound traffic setting,

because I also have a linux fedora core 4 machine and that is working fine over FTP.
even the network settings are same.
