I tried to set up ftp on my webserver yesterday and did this:
created user brian with home directory as a branch of the webserver path
-
/var/www/html/brian
changed permission on this directory ro read and write.
If I connect thru the Lan, everything works.
If I connect from external connection, I can connect as anon or Brian,
as brian it shows the path correctly as /var/www/html/brian but then
hangs on 'receiving file names'
My brother tries from his XP machine using cuteftp and connects but gets
'unable to get a data socket'
I have allowed port 21 thru my smoothwall firewall.
Oh, maybe anserer my own question, do I need to allow/forward another
channel thru the firewall for the data?
