It did not make a difference. Oh well, worth a shot. You probably should check what's going on with iptables: iptables -L and conceivably remove that rule, although it may have been there already. Should have been, unless there's another way tp accomplish the same thing with iptables... Does iptables ignore redundant rules or just add the new one? Don't know.

I don't have any other good ideas at present. Maybe your ISP blocks that port and you'll have to choose one over 1000.... Sid

If it works in the basic configuration, and doesn't as a VPS server, then you know that's where the problem is... Sid

What happens if, on the Linux machine at the command line, you type ftp localhost

What finally did it was the use of the domain name without the ftp subdomain that I have been accustomed to at other hosting services. E. g.: example.com instead of: ftp.example.com and setting the FTP client for passive FTP. -- If you desire to respond directly remove the "sj." from the domain name part of my email address. It is a spam jammer.

Now I have a new problem. Before I was able to FTP, to get the website on the server, I used Tunnelier SSH to upload the site. Now I cannot overwrite any files that Tunnelier put there. The error message I get is: "An FTP error occurred - cannot put contact.htm. Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem." I am able to upload a test page by FTP and overwrite and delete that test page by means of FTP. There is no difference in permissions between files put there by FTP and SSH. These are -rw-r--r-- for both. What other permissions are there? -- If you desire to respond directly remove the "sj." from the domain name part of my email address. It is a spam jammer. |
