Hello, I been trying to configure SuSefirewall2 and pure-ftpd to work together. When I have the firewall off I can ftp to the server and everything works as plan. When I activate SuSefirewall2 I can ftp in and authenticate but when I do any commands, say for example cd or ls, it says: Remote system type is UNIX.

Thanks ahead of time.
It's happening because in passive mode you need to open up high ports on the server. In the firewall config file set FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP to "yes" regards Anders -- `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'
