Dennis,

I have found that if you use a non-secure client such as plain old
"ftp", you need to turn off the passive mode to make transfers.  Just
type the passive command at the prompt to toggle passive mode off.

Another alternative is to use the secure ftp client included with most
linux distros.  It is sftp.

If you are trying to connect from a windows box, you can use psftp which
is a free secure ftp client that can be downloaded from the Internet.

Thanks for that, that explains everything. The ftp client is NOT a
secure
one and I cannot change that, I was not aware that vsftpd is a secure
only
FTP server, I will have to find a NON secure server that I can install.

Thanks again
