This is my first post. I have searched through all other threads looking for an answer, so I am hopeful that one of you may have a solution.
I am running Fedora 9 64bit, fresh install. I have vino/vnc running for ease of administration along with SSH. I have pure-ftpd configured and running (using the command line options: pure-ftpd -4AbBEGKHirZl puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb -p 50000:50100 &).
My issue is this: I can connect to this server with FTP from my windows PC with CORE FTP using PASV, but I can not connect to it using ACTIVE. When I connect from command line, I get the following: (I have replaced IP replaced with XX.XX.XX.XXX)
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 03:03. Server port: 21.

I have ports 1-5000 tcp and udp open. I can FTP in to the service from the Fedora box console and connect in ACTIVE mode. What makes it even stranger is that if I shut down pure-ftpd and run vsftp I am able to connect from the Windows box using active, so it is not a firewall/network issue. I really need some of the features of pure-ftpd for the application I am using. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
One note too. It took me a good deal of time to figure out why I couldn't connect in the first place. It seems that when you disable the firewall in Fedora 9 64bit, it clamps down on FTP.
