 |
|
Hi,
It seems so easy to install ftp server by choosing Proftpd with basic configuration.
Unfortunately, all the calls are trying to get around MLSD and after PASV and all connection ends with a timeout error
Can someone help him bite to get it started as it should? 
my config
| Code: |

The same thing happens even if I remove all iptables rules

Sounds to me as if there is a problem with a firewall, but you said it's the same with all iptables rules removed?
What are the default policies, are there other rules in effect (give us a "iptables -L")?
What is the network relationship between client and server (e.g. both in LAN or server on internet, client behind router etc.)? |

| If you need to show iptables rules for public review, always use iptables-save, never iptables -L. |

Default policies are ACCEPT for all CHAINS when i remove all rules of iptables.
but if I have attached the all rule, default policies are DENY for INPUT, and FORWARD - ACCEPT for OUTPUT
relationship between client and server is a server on internet.
There is a log from trying connect to the FTP server

Currently I'm curios that your session log reports:
| Code: | PORT 192,168,1,100,225,72
200 PORT command successful |
This is a LAN IP (192.168.1.100) and not an official IP for an internet connection.
Which client software are you using?
Can you connect and change dirs/download something on e.g. ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/ (a public German FTP)?
@Hu: Why "iptables-save" instead of "iptables -L"? |

iptables-save provides some informations that are omitted by iptables -L
iptables -L is still useful in some other scenarios though, like iptables -nvL |

szatox is correct that iptables-save shows information not shown by iptables -L, which is one reason it is preferable. However, I disagree that iptables -L is ever more useful for forum posts. If hit counters are needed, use iptables-save -c. When posting to the forum, we have no ability to inspect your rules other than what is shown. For us to model how a packet will traverse the rules, we need to know all the relevant rules. Showing all rules, as done by iptables-save, serves that purpose most readily. Other advantages:- iptables-save defaults to showing all tables. iptables shows only one table, and by default shows table filter.
- iptables-save defaults to numeric-only resolution; iptables without -n tries to pretty-print some data, which can make it harder for us to understand, particularly when hostnames are substituted.
- As a machine-readable format, iptables-save must print everything necessary for a later iptables-restore to reconstruct the rules. By default, iptables omits some information to conserve screen space. Sometimes this information is relevant to the problem at hand.

Yep, IP 192.168.1.100 - it's my Lan IP of computer what i trying connect to the FTP server.
I dont know why it's showed there.. 
I used a Total Commander 64 bit client but the same problem is if i use ftp client console on Linux

Thanks for the iptables clarification!
Back on real topic:
Connection to gwdg.de just succeeds because it denies the PORT command and then the client continues with trying PASV:
| Code: | PORT 192,168,1,100,229,210
500 Illegal PORT command.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (134,76,12,6,120,161). |
This is exactly what I wanted to see. So the problem is that the client issues a port command with a private IP that the server doesn't deny (deeper explanation see e.g. http://www.raidenftpd.com/kb/kb000000010.html - first good hit when searching).
So either you can force your client not to use the wrong PORT command (see https://www.ghisler.com/efaqftp.htm#NoDownload) or you tell the server not to accept the PORT command at all:
| Code: |
<Limit EPRT PORT>
DenyAll
</Limit>

And that was my problem! I choise setup server too not to accept the PORT command at all because never know (as RaidenFTPD TEAM In every line write) what will bring in the future 
I admit that I did not know about these "problems" of the PORT command
Thanks very much @Quincy Beer for you ! |
