CSF blocking FTP?




Posted by Itslee, 03-17-2012, 04:37 PM
Only just noticed that CSF is blocking my FTP i use (FileZilla) And also a new program im looking to use (SyncBack). I can only login through FTP if CSF is disabled. Can anyone give some advice?

Kindly check into vi /etc/csf/csf.allow FTP port is open or not.

Are you on an OpenVZ VPS? If so, look at http://www.configserver.com/free/csf/readme.txt

configserver's ini file should have something like: # Outgoing TCP ports TCP_OUT = 20,21,22,etc.... Make sure 22 is there, assuming you have not moved FTP to another port

Yes 22 is there.

Sorry, it's getting late again I meant port 21, 22 is SSH (usually)

Also there. There's quite a few ports there.

It's doing the same to our servers. They aren't Open VZ. They are Dedicated Servers.

Its a possibility that CSF is blocking Passive FTP. Try setting the PassivePortRange as described in my post above and then try. Remember when adding the port range 30000:35000 to your FTP server, do also add that range to CSF, and restart CSF.

If setting up the passive FTP range doesn't work, I'd check the LFD log to see what's happening and see if you can then find the problem that way.
