Cannot connect to FTP site

[Chrisco]

I am new to Linux and I have setup the bare Fedora Core 3 with no GUI. I have just attempted to setup FTP by running (YUM vsftpd) and then (service vsftpd restart). I then try to access the FTP site with my Windows XP machine useing Mozilla Firefox and I recieve the error ( Alert 425 Failed to establish connection). Then I tried useing IE to access the site and I got the message. (The server name or address could not be resolved)

Will ask me for user name when attempting to connect to ftp://username@192.168.1.115, but after logging in I get the same error.

[Chrisco]

also tried to (nano /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf) with

#Passive mode ports
pasv_min_port=2021
pasv_max_port=2071

#FXP enable
pasv_promiscuous=YES
port_promiscuous=YES

Still did not work providing I did add it right. Just added to the end and saved.

I'm wondering... are u sure that ftp has no problems right now?

[Chrisco]

Of course it's got problems.

[tiberiu]

sorry, it seems I'm tired and I did not read carefully...

Almost sounds like you have a firewall on the Fedora machine blocking the data stream of FTP. Could you do an iptables -L -n from a shell prompt and post your output here. If that's the case you could do a service iptables stop as root to stop your firewall long enough for you to retest your FTP session.

no problem
