FTP-Problem

[=David=]

I also am having this problem. I checked server status and it show that port 21 is down.
I check my router and made sure it's forwarding correctly. I then tried adding them to the iptable with;

<code>
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 21 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 21 -d 0/0 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
</code>

that didn't seem to work either.
is this a settings problem in proftp?

Hey Trevit, turns out that in my case proftpd either wasn't running or didn't have the right config loaded. I typed

# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart

everything's good. they directory chooser works and users can now log in.
