Please take this lightly! http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ftp+browser+syntax :-P :lol:
Your config does not allow "anonymous" and will chroot a vailid user (both good).

Re: Having trouble loging onto VSFTPD over the net...please help
thanks for responding
these websites all assume that i have a domain name as in ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
but i have a local network
with computer 1 with ip 192.168.1.2 which can access ftp server locally using ftp://fileserver/
ftp server which is 192.168.1.3
and a adsl2 netcomm router with ip address 220.250.xxx.xxx with port 20,21 forwarded to 192.168.1.3
i'm still not sure how to go about connecting from an external network address
or even if this is setup right, is there a way from 192.168.1.2 that i could test this ftp server or will i have to access another computer outside the network to try and if so what would the syntax be
ftp://220.250.xxx.xxx/192.168.1.3
ftp://220.250.xxx.xxx/fileserver
ftp://192.168.1.3/220.250.xxx.xxx
probably very simple but i cant seem to find any help on it

If the relevant ports are forwarded to the LAN address, and firewall/SELinux are not interfering, you should just be able to use the public IP address: ftp://220.250.xxx.xxx/ in your example format. Are you sure the ISP is not blocking the ports? They often do.
You should be able to test locally with another system on the LAN and the local IP address to be sure the basic service is working.

Re: Having trouble loging onto VSFTPD over the net...please help
i updated the firmware on the router and checked port 21 with online port scanner i also opened a couple more ports to check on the reliability of the port scanner and it worked every time, and it is open but still cant manage to logon with router ip address, but i still can with local ip address, don't know what else i can do....... any one have any clues?

Re: Having trouble loging onto VSFTPD over the net...please help
Hi,
create a user say abc
ftp://abc@220.250.xxx.xxx
220.250.xxx.xxx is what ever your routers public static ip assigned by our isp.
in vsftpd.conf file you specify userlist_enable=YES check that user should present on that users file
thanks
