Greetings once again, I have requested help on this issue before, but the problem was never resolved, so here goes one more try (a little different this time; I have given up trying to set up anonymous ftp):
I need to get plain-ol' ftp working. I am using Proftp. My setup is: Intel 850 P4 1.9G; 1GbRAM; Win2000; Intel 845 P4 1.6G; 768MbRAM; Debian Linux (3.0 Woody); Connected to a static DSL IP through a US Robotics Broadband Router. I have given up on Anonymous ftp; I just need to provide a couple of users secure access to websites I want to host for them. Currently I am using sftp (SSH2) to access my own websites from the Windows box behind the router. When I try to use the Internet I cannot make the connection (various error messages...tell me what setup you want me to try and I will post the error message). I have read the documentation and nothing quite deals with my situation which surely cannot be unique. And I have read each of the following: Slow logins: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/faq/faq_full.html#AEN414 Networking/firewall/NAT issue: http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-NAT.txt http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html (See <a name="extract_1" href="#extract_1ex">extract</a> below) Debugging:http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-De bugging.html I need to know: What ports should be opened through the router's firewall? I have tried 21 20 and those plus the range 60000-65000. What should my proftpd.conf look like: I have tried variations on the folowing in the proftpd.conf: # UseReverseDNS off # IdentLookups off # # MasqueradeAddress both ftp.mydomain.net and http://www~ and 00.000.00.00 the static IP Address used to connect to the Internet # PassivePorts 60000 65535 # AllowForeignAddress on # Neither ftp nor nogroup are in /etc/ftpusers What I have not changed is anything to do with configuring the NAT as I am not sure that is what I need to do (or what I need to do to change it)...so I need to know if it is what I need to do. I have reconfigured this endless times over the last couple of months and I am tuckered! Anyone can guide me through this or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it much. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
