[WBEL-users] vsftpd is ftpd! but how to connect?

[John Hinton]

Try turning off passive mode in your ftp client. If that doesn't work, 
take a look in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and have a nice long read on all 
the potential settings you may configure. It is a very flexible program.

Best,
John Hinton
