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

[Raymond Val]

Jim,

In addition to this, make sure that your firewall is allowing ftp and ftpd
if you are using the firewall on the machine.

Also, check to see if /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow are in use.

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,
