FTP Server

[edf825]

Hi,
I'm using proftpd for an ftp daemon and it's really pissing me off. I think it's ftp in general, actually but anyway... Anywhere on my LAN I can access my FTP server (my computer ). But, when i try it from 'outside' it just says either "530 Login Failed", or comes up with a login prompt and then says "530 Login Failed". My computer is behind a smoothwall firewall which is configured to forward ports 21 and 20 to it. Any suggestions as to what I can do?

can you post your proftpd.conf file and part of the log file where the error occurs?

Are you fowarding tcp and udp

ANonymous directive should point for an user home

then you should use the Directory directive to specify the place.

it seems that you use a directory in anonymous directive and so no anonymous user is recognized by the server.

try something like this change to suit your needs its just an example.

# User Access Control
<Limit LOGIN>
Deny All
</Limit>

# Anonymous configuration
<Anonymous /some_user_home>
User ftp
Group nogroup
UserAlias anonymous ftp
HideNoAccess on
<Limit LOGIN>
Allow All
</Limit>
<Limit ALL>
Deny All
</Limit>
<Limit PWD CWD LIST RETR>
Allow ALL
</Limit>
<Directory /dir>
Umask 022 022
<Limit MKD STOR>
Allow All
</Limit>
</Directory>
</Anonymous>
