Vsftpd problem to connect WAN

Post by luckypt » 2017/03/17 08:47:11

Hello everyone.

I'm having problem's with vsftpd when i want to connect to my server when i'm outdoor.
In Lan everything works great i do ftp://myip, I put my credentials all is good...
If i'm outdoor and I'm connected to OpenVPN (in the same server) i have access to ftp too.
The problem is when i'm outdoor and i want to connect without vpn:
when i do ftp://dns.noip.me:port it just charge for 5/10 mins and nothing....
my "ip" is ok because i can connect to vpn,ssh and webmin so its not a problem of portforward (i think) externalport 6666(exemple) -> internal port 21 ->192.1......(centos ip)

in CentOS i have enable firewalld for port 21/tcp and ftp service
so i can't understand why i don't have access..

Anyone can help me?

thank you in advance

Did you open tcp port 21 or did you enable the ftp service? You shouldn't do both and the correct thing is to run firewall-cmd --enable-service=ftp (then again with --permanent).

Try telling your client to use passive mode.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
