    Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

    Ei, I have figured out!

    I'm a complete newbie, but i figured that ubuntu comes with a built in firewall (iptables), have start to read some tutorials and understanding chains and policies. but in the mean time i fount out that firestarter is a frontend to configure iptables, so i've manage to allow ftp / ssh.

    I'm gonna need to understand better iptables for the future, so do you know a good tutorial or documentation?

    I just cant access from an external IP to the server. Any Info ?

    Thank You

    Ye great howto, i've manage to open the ports already. But i cant get people from outside my local network to connect to the ftp server.

    I've read something about passive and active ftp server . But couldnt get any configuration to solve the problem.

    Can you help me in this issue?

    Thank you so much

    Read in the iptables tutorial thread from post 169, you will see a user who managed to get all working with passive connections although passive FTP is not mandatory.

    Are you using a router ?

    It explains the steps to follow to get FTP server working through a router on the FTP server config side and on the router side too.

    Still the same, i used the config provided by that post. got me this error while restarting the service :

    Code:
    - warning: the DisplayFirstChdir directive is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  Please use the DisplayChdir directive.
    And whats the functionality of MasqueradeAddress ?

    And what this comments means ?

    Code:
    # These ports should be safe...
        PassivePorts 60000 65535
    What im missing ?

    MasqueradeAddress is mandatory when using a router, here you must put either your domain name or the IP of the router.

    PassivePorts command allows to define accurately what port to use if in passive mode.
