Nate, thank you for this response,
I am behind my router's firewall, but set up with static external and
internal IPs:
In Proftp (global) I Set up:
UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off
MasqueradeAddress 000.000.000.00 of the servers internal IP
PassivePorts 60000-65535
and set up my router to listen on 21 and 60000-65535
and I still get timed out:
COMMAND:> PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (internal.server.ip.no,251,62).
COMMAND:> LIST
STATUS:> Connecting ftp data socket internal.server.ip.no:64318...
ERROR:> Timeout.
I did #fuser -n tcp 21 and got:
21/tcp: 230
I really don't know what that means. I do not have a user 230
I also did netstat -an | grep 21 and got a bunch of stuff, but didn't see
anything that rang any bells. But here too I really do not know what I am
looking for.
Best Wishes!

you mention "internal" network. to me this makes me think you
are running it behind NAT. passive ftp does not work well with NAT.
try your client in ACTIVE ftp mode or put the ftp server infront
of your NAT box.

if that doesn't turn up anything then check
netstat -an | grep 21
sounds like your problem is NAT though, serving FTP data behind
dynamic NAT is not a good idea. FTP works fine if you use static
NAT(1 external IP maps to 1 internal ip on all ports). I have only
done this on cisco routers though.
