Hello @ all,
I have a ASUS WL500gP (DD-WRT V23_SP2) with one USB HDD are connected.
SAMBA2 works fine. Only the ProFTPd makes problems. In my local LAN everything ist ok. But if I would connect from WAN-side (other PC by a friend - let me say RemPC to it in the future), the FTP clients says: the computer is not reachable. At the same time the RemPC can go to the Control Panel of my WL500gP (via http://alias.no-ip.info:8080).
I check many thinks:
Nothing works. Has any one any idea?
For aditional informations I attached my proftpd.conf.
In the mailing list of the proftpd is also nothing thats works for me!
I make several tests again:
With vsftpd my FTP is reachable over WAN (with the iptable settings on port 21). But also only when I start the vsftp via xinetd.
And only when I paste "only_from = 0.0.0.0/0" into the /opt/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd.
My /opt/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd looks like:
Code:
# default: on
# description:
# The vsftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
# vsftpd is designed to be secure.
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
only_from = 0.0.0.0/0
wait = no
user = root
server = /opt/sbin/vsftpd
server_args = /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
disable = no
}
Have anyone a idea, to run proftpd? Its more configurable as vsftpd.
Is there a solution to start proftpd via xinetd? And wich settings must be taken in the xinetd startup file for proftpd (for vsftpd its /opt/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd)?
