I am stumped trying to debug this problem - it looks like a vsftpd
config issue, does not look like a firewall issue - since I tried
another FTP server (Pure-FTPD), and it works fine.<br>
<br>
Whenever I try to FTP from outside my firewall, I get the "Connected" message, then I enter the User, and then Password:<br>
After entering password, the is no activity for five minutes, and then I get a "421 Timeout.<br>
Login failed.<br>
No control connection for command: Permission denied"<br>
at the client.<br>
<br>
Looking at vsftpd.log on my server, I see:<br>
Thu May 26 07:15:41 2005CONNECT: Client "nnn.nnn.nnn.11"<br>
Thu May 26 11:15:41 2005FTP response: Client "....11", "220 (vsFTPd 2.0.1)"<br>
Thu May 26 11:15:43 2005FTP command: Client "....11", "USER hhh<br>
Thu May 26 11:15:43 2005FTP response: Client "....11", "331 Please specify the password."<br>
Thu May 26 11:15:45 2005FTP command: Client "....11", "PASS <password>"<br>
Thu May 26 11:20:43 2005FTP response: Client "....11", "421 Timeout."<br>
<br>
I looked at my firewall logs on my server, and it shows no suppression or blocking of access at that time. <br>
<br>
Is there any more debugging I can turn on, or anything else to try at vsftpd server end?<br>
<br>
I can use FTP inside the firewall, which seems to suggest a problem
with the firewall, but as I mentioned, none of the FTP server firewall
logs show anything, and using other servers such as Pure-FTPD makes
everything work just fine.<br>
<br>
Is there any additional logging I can turn on in vsftpd, or if anyone has any other suggestions to try, let me know.<br>
<br>
I'm using Fedora FC3: 2.6.11-1.14_FC3, vsFTPd 2.0.1<br>
