proftpd: list & passive mode problem

  • Quote

Post by kos » Sun Oct 25, 2009 2:30 am

Hi
I've been using proftpd for many years and I think my config stayed intact for a year or so now. However I've discovered that anonymous access doesn't work anymore after one of my recent upgrades. It looks like there are some problems with passive mode for anonymous users.
Here's sample ftp session log, notice that 4th 'ls' attempt succeeds

Code: Select all

kos@kos ~ $ /usr/bin/ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
220 ProFTPD 1.3.3rc1 Server (KoS' FTP Server)
Name (localhost:kos): anonymous

Password:
230-Welcome to KoS' FTP server!
 You can use up to 3 connections per IP, there is no bandwidth limit.  However,
 server runs at nice 18 (low priority), so you can experience slowdowns when
230 system is busy (like when I'm gaming :p ).
Remote system type is Guest.

I've tried lftp as a client and it just ABORts the connection even before "Entering Passive Mode" arrives from server:

**** extra server response
Active mode works OK.
Non-anonymous logins are also OK, even in passive mode.
Firewall was stopped..
Tried to fiddle with the USE flags - no results. There are no errors in auth.log, xfer.log or 'proftpd -n -d 10' output.
My proftpd.conf:
