I'm having a heck of a time getting vsftpd to work properly. When Iptables are OFF, it works fine, and when iptables is on, it dies. When I try ftp from a command line, here's what the session looks looks like: [root at mylaptop ~]# ftp ftp.server.com Connected to ftp.server.com. 220 Welcome to My Company FTP 530 Please login with USER and PASS. 530 Please login with USER and PASS. KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type Name (ftp.server.com:root): northwind 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (66,81,89,182,135,169) ftp: connect: No route to host ftp> But, what am I doing wrong, here!?!?!
