I get the following error using the gftp client: 220 ready, dude (vsFTPd 1.0.1: beat me, break me) USER ftpsecure 331 Please specify the password. PASS xxxx 230 Login successful. Have fun. TYPE I 200 Binary it is, then. PWD 257 "/home/ftpsecure" PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,35,134) Cannot create a data connection: No route to host I think it must be to do with permissions. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Steve.

That's a message from the client. If it's really doing passive mode it's trying to connect to the high port that the server told it to for the data connection. For some reason it can't...either it's not doing passive and trying to open a port for the server to connect back to or you've got some kind of general networking/firewall problem. I'd try another client such as the one from lukemftp. -- -ckm

So vsftpd is working OK no? My SuSEfirewall2 blocks highports. I have opened port 20 and 21 on SuSEfirewall2. Do I need to open up more ports? lukemftp says it's installed but won't run. Is there a graphical alternative to gftp or can I fix gftp in some way? Thanks, Steve. SuSE 8.0

I've used gFTP for years without any problem. Here is the documentation for my error from /usr/share/doc/ Q: When gFTP tries to get the remote directory listing, I get an error that says: Cannot create a data connection: Connection refused A: Go under FTP->Options and turn off passive file transfers. Instead of sending the PASV command to open up the data connection on the server side, the data connection will be opened up on the client side, and the PORT command will be sent to the server instead. I did that but still no connection. Iglooftp (and cuteftp under windows) doesn't connect either so it must be something to do with my firewall or permissions here on the server. Can anyone help me further? THanks, Steve.

Are you running a firewall on both machines? Note that one of the two needs to allow high port connections. If you use passive mode then the server needs to allow it, if you use active mode then the client needs to allow it. If both sides block the high ports the connection will fail. //Anders

What would we do without this guy? Yes I am running firewall on both machines. I guess I must allow highport on the server as I can't expect all clients to be ftp gurus no? Thanks, Steve.
