vsftpd passive data port

[emecstudios]

hi,

trying to use a passive data port of 1202 cause my ftp runs at port 1200...
right now it uses a data port randomly so I have to open all ports on my router which is not good!

in my config file:
pasv_enabled=yes
pasv_min_port=1201
pasv_max_port=1202
listen_port=1200

but it still uses ports randomly from 1200 to 65000...

any idea?
thnx,
davy

the weird part is when I use port 21 it will use the data port 1202,
how come?

well,
had to run vsftpd in standalone mode,
now it works on port 1200 with data port 1202...
but I still cannot find the restart vsftpd without xinetd.d cause its in standalone mode...
any idea?
thnx,
davy

To restart vsftpd in standalone mode, try:

/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
