[melefire]

Hello, I set up a suse 10.1 server using your instructiuons and every thing worked exept proftpd. When i atempt to connect to my server via ftp i connect then the connection is closed.

Could someone please help me fix the problem?
Thanks

Are there any errors in your logs? What's the output of netstat -tap and ps aux|grep -i apparmor?

[melefire]

there does not appear to be any errors. i can also accses FTP from an online ftp client, don't know if this means anything

[melefire]

Oh and this is what i see in SmartFTP from a remote computer:

SmartFTP v1.5.991.32

so possibly someone can tell the problem from that

Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client? Might be a firewall problem.

[melefire]

I can not transfer at all, i get on then defore the directory loads it kicks me off...
EDIT:
when i do
ftp localhost
it works so i think there is a problem with accsesing it out of the firewall

[falko]

Please switch off the firewall and try again.

Um i think i located the problem, the passive ftp does not work, i can log in but when i run the ls command its hangs.
it configured the ftp to only use port 6111 for passive,
then i forwarded it on my netgear router to 192.168.1.25, my suse server
but it still does not work!! i know ftp server works becuase i can do transfers from within the network but i can't transfer from out side

Either use active transfers, or have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6104&highlight=60000
