pureftpd and apache2

[lefloresg80]

Hello all,

Newbie question. So I installed pureftpd just as suggested in the tutorial but with nothing else of the perfect server on Ubuntu 11.04. I can do ftp from my machine on filezilla using the localhost but I can't see my computer from the outside. What configurations changes must I make, if any, on my apache .conf file. Thanks!

OK, so now the port is open and I can connect through filezilla but I'm getting a "Failed to Retrieve Directory List" error. I also get "Status: Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead."

Example:

root@box:/etc/pure-ftpd/conf# echo ,21 > Bind
root@box:/etc/pure-ftpd/conf# echo xx.xx.xx.xx > ForcePassiveIP
root@box:/etc/pure-ftpd/conf# echo 5000 5050 > PassivePortRange

Thanks

Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

Falko,

Thank you for your response, I have Filezilla setup to connect on active mode if passive mode fails. From the Filezilla log, it seems it is able to connect but for some reason it can't create the folder list.

Thanks

What's the output of

iptables -L

?

Does FTP work from inside your local network, but not from outside? In that case you should also check your router configuration.

Falko this is my output

root@folders:~# iptables -L
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

Thanks

Ok, no firewall - that's ok.

What about my other question?

[lefloresg80]

Well at some point it started working, partially, but I think I'm having problems with my static ip, and I don't know if it's conflicting with my hosts file. Now every time I start my computer I have to make changes in the interfaces file in order to get the internet to work. I've tried configuring the static port through the router, with the interfaces file, and both at the same time, but something is amuck. When it does work I can't get passive ports working.

I just installed 11.04 on both computers at my office, and I have no idea how to go about and create an internal network for file/printer sharing. In the networks place all I see is windows network. So I haven't been able to check through the network. When it does work I end up connecting thrtough the internet on the other computer. I can't simply put 192.168.0.xxx:21 on filezilla and have it work.

Gonna reboot now and check if I still have to play around with the interfaces file

Thanks

It seems that the other computer on my LAN is actually recognizing the internal address. From the outside the I can connect to the server (without passive ports) but then I can't get the folder list.

So it's working from inside your LAN, but not from the outside? In this case you should check your router settings.
