Title: vsftpd - outside access (login)
Post by: absolon on July 22, 2008, 10:29:17 AM
Hi!
First of all many many thanks for great tutorials - really very helpful for newbie like me.
I went through tutorial "ipkg installation" and then "vsftpd installation" tutorial.
Works great but only from local addresses. Accessing from outside to FTP is not possible.
It turned out that if I disable Firewall in WebAdmin I got access to ftp. So it seems that firewall is blocking access.
But my WebAdmin Firewall settings are simple and I used same setting when I used buil-in ftp server

Code:
Firewall Enabled = YES
DoS portection = YES

I would disable Firewall but I'd like to stay protected. So should I use iptables? But as I mentioned I'm newbie and I need tutorial setp by step with explanation. Please :)

By the way I'm not able to set vsftpd to different port than 21. I read that if it run with xinetd I should set port in xinetd.
I've tried add line:

Code:
port = 5000

but it doesn't work.


Thanks in advance
