Hi, If there is a better list for this question please point me to it. I have Red Hat 8.0 with wu-ftp 2.6.2.8. The machine was originally hooked up to a DSL line and a network everywhere (LinkSys?) router, I updated the ftpaccess file to specify the passive ports and IP Address. I also opened the port range in the router. All was working great, until the DSL provider decided it was a good idea to renew the ip address lease each week and forcing an address change. So I moved the machine to a T1 line behind a Netopia R5300 router. I modified the IP address in the ftpaccess file and opened the ports in the netopia. However passive mode just refuses to work. If I telnet to the T1 address and use the FTP port and issue the PASV command, it just sits there forever (I think it may eventualy come back with some kind of 425 error).
(telnet 64.6.181.158 21) 230 User wbemuser logged in. Access restrictions apply. TYPE I 200 Type set to I. PASV it just sits there after issueing the PASV command. Now if I telnet to the internal ip addy on the FTP port, things seem to work better. I issue the PASV command and I get the 227 response. If I then try to telnet to the ip and port specified in the 227 response I get an error about port theft: first telnet session (telnet 192.168.1.36 21): 230 User wbemuser logged in. Access restrictions apply. TYPE I 200 Type set to I. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (64,6,181,158,74,235) NLST In another telnet session I do: telnet 64.6.181.158 19179 This connection is closed immediatly and in the first telnet session I get "425 Possible PASV port theft, cannot open data connection." which I expect (and implies that I have the ports open in the router correctly?). What have I configured wrong? In the router I have port 21 open as well as a range (19000-21000) for the passive ports (specified in the ftpaccess file). thank you -Jim Jim Marshall Manager The Internet ConneXtion http://www.iconnextion.com/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
