Re: [suse-security] FTP-Installation SuSE 7.2

Hi folks,

maybe it is a little bit out of topic but I don't know where to write this.

Slightly...

I download the bootdisc and the module discs. after I made the discs I want to upgrade my 7.1 to 7.2 via ftp. I have a dsl-router with a firewall installed (iptables with masquerading). As I want to connect to the ftp-server of suse I get the message, that the server cannot connect to the ftp server. I tried to connect to other ftp servers, but I got the same message.

I suggest that you look at the logs of your packet filter. It should be able to tell you more than you told us here. yast + yast2 use PASV mode ftp. Usually, there is no problem with that. Check default route and setups.

It would be nice, if somebody can help me.

MfG.

Thanks, Roman. -- - - | Roman Drahtmüller // "Caution: Cape does | SuSE GmbH - Security Phone: // not enable user to fly." | Nürnberg, Germany +49-911-740530 // (Batman Costume warning label) | - -
