I have recently moved to the South West - from Reading where ntl provided broadband via the cable in the road -- and now get bb from plusnet via ADSL and a BT phone line. I have a cheap ethernet modem DSL300T and it all works fine except for ftp. I have to migrate to DOS to use ftp which is humiliating. So although I have only just arrived I am asking for help already :-)
No problem.
Is there anyone who has the same setup: ADSL -> DSL300T (or any other ethernet modem) -> linux and does ftp work ok?
Yes.
1. % tcpdump -i eth0 -X -s256 -nn -w /tmp/ftpdump &
sent off list. I did have problems with iptables and FTP when I was designing a local firewall. I also had an ISDN router that played havoc with all kinds of traffic, including FTP. Can you import GnuPG keys from a keyserver? That's another favourite failing in hardware firewalls. It was the higher port numbers that caused the most trouble. FTP starts on the known ports but the connections are done at higher ports and unless these are open, the connection will fail just as you describe. It's an ipchains example, but here's what helped me: ipchains -A input -p TCP -s 0/0 ftp-data -d $MYIP 1024:5999 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A input -p TCP -s 0/0 ftp-data -d $MYIP 6255: -j ACCEPT Note the opening of all ports above 6254 if the source port is ftp-data. I'm using an Alcatel SpeedTouch 530 broadband router with 1 ethernet port and the firewall works OK - it has never got in the way. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
