Hi, how do you that I did'nt investigate myself? Actually getting any hints from some person here is my last hope... I did many searches in Google and visited n pages, and actually evey tutorial is telling me that my settings should be correct, but they aren't. The FTP does work indeed, since I'm able to connect after stopping ipchains and if ipchains is started again I can login via FTP and then it stops and the connection times out.
I need FTP for the users (over 300) to upload their files and I don't want to deactivate the ipchains, even though the server stands behind a physical firewall (which has the necessary ports open).
