Hi Andreas, In your log file line you can see port 20 is denied. That's the data connection for active FTP, therefore your FW_FORWARD_TCP can't do anything to open that port. You stated passive FTP causes the same problem. Can you please mail the log entry of your attempt with passive FTP? Ralf
Hello NG,
I've installed the WU FTPD on my Suse 7.1 Box. The ftp connect to localhost is successfull. I can list directorys, create and delete them.
But if I try to to connect from the Internet to my linux box, then I can login but the LIST command is not successfull, the ftp process from the client is hanging.
I think it's a problem with the firewall. In the logfile there is the following entry:
May 20 17:43:42 dolly kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth1 PROTO=6 111.111.111.111: 20 217.4.191.240:65415 L=60 S=0x08 I=57760 F=0x4000 T=64 SYN (#91)
But I have configured FW_FORWARD_TCP="0/0,111.111.111.111,21" I think it's no problem with active and passive ftp, because have probed the ftp command in active and passive mode, everything the same.
Hope that anybody could help. Best Regards Andreas Müller
