Mandrake 10.1 and proftpd problem

Can't connect not sure where to turn

[srieger]

Hi there. I am running Mandrake 10.1 and proftpd. I set up apache and everything else. I set up default proftpd and absolutely cannot connect to the FTP. The process is running under services. Any quick troubleshooting tips you can offer up? When I try to connect it just times out.

Does it validate your user name and password then refuse to give you a listing of files or anything else?

If so, you don't have any port opens for your FTP session. Try opening 52000-52099 for proftp passive in your firewall and see what happens.

OOPS - I forgot one minor detail, that port range was selected based on what we had open on our router too, your mileage may vary. And you have to configure proftp to use the range of ports you open.

No more answering email for me before my first gallon of caffeine in the morning....
