    Vsftpd Multiple Connection Problem

    hi all,

    i had configured a FTP server at Red Had Enterprise Linux(RHEL). it's working fine, if a FTP link works (only) on one computer for example ftp link is ftp://192.168.63.1 and this link is used by COMP1 for download and upload . Problem start when i connect this same ftp link from another comp say comp 2 and start download, some data from this link then at comp2 ftp link get down . when we try to ping ftp link ip from copm 2 i.e ping 192.168.63.1 then it shows request time out . at the same time when we ping ftp link ip from comp1 , then it's ping as well as download and uploads also works fine.

    how i configure vsftpd , steps are as follow

    1)

    [root@CHEERSFTP ~]# yum -y install vsftpd

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# service vsftpd start
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ]

    [root@CHEERSFTP ~]# cd /home/cheersftp

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# mkdir ftpuser1

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# groupadd ftpgrp

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# useradd -g ftpgrp -d /home/cheersftp/ftpuser1/ ftpuser1
    useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.
    Not copying any file from skel directory into it.

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# passwd ftpuser1
    Changing password for user ftpuser1.
    New UNIX password:
    BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
    Retype new UNIX password:
    passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# chown ftpuser1:ftpgrp /home/cheersftp/ftpuser1/

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# chmod 777 /home/cheersftp/ftpuser1/

    [root@CHEERSFTP cheersftp]# chmod ugo+rwx /home/cheersftp/ftpuser1/

    now configure vsftp.log files placed at /etc/vsftpd/vsftp.conf and set this values.
    2)

    vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

    this listed options are set in vsftpd.conf file


    anonymous_enable=NO
    local_enable=YES
    write_enable=YES
    local_umask=022
    dirmessage_enable=YES
    xferlog_enable=YES
    connect_from_port_20=YES
    xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
    xferlog_std_format=YES
    ascii_upload_enable=YES
    ascii_download_enable=YES
    chroot_list_enable=YES
    chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
    ### now open the terminal and restart the vsftp service.

    [root@CHEERSFTP log]# service vsftpd reload
    Shutting down vsftpd: [ OK ]
    Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ]

    Note :- when i set this type of configuration in centos , then i can connect one link from n numbers of comp , at the same time it's working fine but in RHEL it's fails. please corect me where i m making a mistake.

    Maybe you should check your firewall settings? Do COMP1 and COMP2 belong to the same network as your vsftpd server (do they have ip-addres from range 192.168.63.* or they're behind NAT)? Try to set in your vsftpd.conf max_clients=10 (or elsewhat bigger than 2) and max_per_ip=10. That would unlikely help 'cause there's no restrictions by default, but you can try at least.
