[WBEL-users] VSFTPD Re: Two (hopefully) quick new install Q's

>Here is my /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file ... it is for passive mode FTP,

/etc/vsftpd.user_list) and a list of users who will be chrooted {only have
access to their home >>>directory} /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list.  Each of those
lists is just a list of usernames (one on each line).

ncftp / > ls
Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out.
Passive mode refused.
List failed.

Any clue as to why I am getting this on vsftpd ?

Thanks
