Question about pureFTPd

[fatnack]

Hi @ all

I read the tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/pureftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting_p3, it's just fantastic. All features are working correctly...but I can only connect to localhost.

On the Server I enter:

ftp> open localhost
--> this is okay

But when I enter:

ftp> open mydomain.ch
then he says "Connection refused"

I hope you can help me that I can establish connections from outside!

Thank's a lot
Remo

Ok, ftp is listening on all interfaces. Please make sure your firewall doesn't block port 21 (and maybe also 20).
What's the output of iptables -L?

[fatnack]

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

PS: I've no firewall here

Does FTP work with an FTP client like SmartFTP from another computer?
