FC5: VS-FTPD Won't Accept Connections FC5

I'm not sure what is going on! I've got the firewall disabled and I can't even get connected! Here's what goes on:

Connecting to 192.168.1.100:21Connected to 192.168.1.100:21, Waiting for Server Response
Failed to receive response after connect

I even uninstalled VSFTPD and re-installed it with no luck. I've even tried switching vsftpd.conf files and still nothing!

Thanks for any assistance. I've never had this sort of problem with VSFTPD before.

Do you have SELINUX installed along with FC5 ?? That might be blocking the connections out.. SELINUX is causing a whole bunch of problems for me too, though I'm on FC4.

Hey, m^e!

 

I found this guide on https://www.howtoforge.com/ called the "Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 5 (64 bit)" but it can work with the 32 bit also. Following the guide, they suggest turning SELinux off because it causes more problems than good so I have it disabled.

 

Tonight, I was out at a book store, I found a Fedora Core 4 book and it had a whole chapter on FTP. The book was $50 (probably because it came with a "special" FC4 edition). I only currently have $15 so I couldn't buy it.

 

You sorta got it easier, m^e. At least you can get in.. I can't.

 

I would like to try a different FTP server, but I'm not sure if there are any good ones that can be installed by running a "yum" command.

 

I'm going to take a shower and then I think I'll search Amazon and find a used book cheap. I don't get why all the Fedora/Red Hat books have to be so... BIG and expensive. Every Fedora/Red Hat book the store had was like 1000 pages and $50-$60. Someone needs to make a book about how to setup a web server. I'm almost ready to contact The Planet or RackSpace and see if they'd be willing to share how to do it.

 

If I find anything, I'll let you know, m^e.

Have you tried checking out /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf ?

Chances are that there's something commented out by default which you need to uncomment before it'll start working.

After that, run

/etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd restart

as root

I've checked it over and over... However, I made a discovery. I have my server hooked up on a domain, so when I visited  xerge.dynamic10.com, I was prompted for a login. So I entered my local system details and it let me in!! I'm going to test something out with SuSE Enterprise Server 9. It's a good thing I've got spare hard disks!! [N]F

I have had many problems from Fedora Core, that's why I never recommend it to anyone. There's too much experimental codes in Fedora Core that makes it unstable.xboxrulz

On a spare hard drive, I installed CentOS 4.3 Final and I've got some sucess! It actually logged me into my home directory! More shocking, I've gotten farther than what I got when I used the "server" option during install... check out this FTP Session:

I was (shockingly) able to write to the disk! I'm going to unplug the current drive and switch it over to the one running Fedora... I think I'm making some progress!

I hate to admit it, but upon close review, I screwed up the IP address! That's why it wasn't working...My old network used the scheme of 192.168.0.XXX and my new network uses the scheme 192.168.1.XXX. This isn't the first time. I've been known to put in my school's IP scheme at home too (10.35.XXX.XXX). It's amazing how one digit can change so much! lol.My next task is getting user directorys to NOT cause a 403: Forbidden message.Don't worry, m^e. I'll try to help you out with your FTP problem too.
