That would make alot of sense. I'll look into that when I get back to that guys house. Thanks!

Learn something new every day. Might give it a shot if gonX's idea doesn't work

hosts.allow was the first thing I checked. its still setup to allow all connections.

It checks hosts.allow after hosts.deny, so if you have allowed something in hosts.allow, it should work.

Regardless, if hosts.deny doesn't fix it, verify that you are able to connect to it from the computer itself, this should do it from the CLI:

Code:

ftp loopback

Also make sure ports are forwarded (if said server is on the internet).

Also take a look at this guide. It explains vsftpd on step 7, also how to setup SFTP (which is about 1\3rd the speed of normal FTP for me):

vsftp accounts are the same as the username accounts. root isn't able to login, but any user you make is.

and its not port forwarding or internet issues. The server connects to the internet, and I have port range 19-21 being forwarded to the server, and the server has a static IP.

I is clueless

they're forwarded

I added "vsftpd: ALL" and it started working. Thanks gonX! once again, your REP+ button has run away, so I can't rep you =(

Lol, just wow.

I said the same thing. Which you said you checked, and ended up fixing the problem.
Good job guy.

All you said was "inb4 hosts.allow"

I'm not the newest person to Linux, but I'm far from the most experienced. simply telling me which file might be involved sure helped me out!

[here's to wishing there was a rep- button too]

Why are you mad? He fixed his problem... does it matter how?

Coma · 09-18-09

...yes, since he pretty much just ignored him.

And besides, if he didn't know what hosts.allow was, why not ASK instead of say you checked it already?

It seems to me that something compatible with a windows network, which is used often in corporate and school networks, would be more painless for someone clueless to use... me thinks this was a fixation on getting vsftpd to work with YOUR (gonX) help >_>
