Alright: I am a relatively new Linux user who has set up a home server running Ubuntu 8.1 (server only). I understand pretty much everything that is going on; I have set up eBox, apache, and a bunch of other things, but I'm having trouble with my FTP server. I can access it through the kernel at my internal IP (I am on a home network) but not any other external address. I have opened my ports and forwarded them; I can connect to the web server as well as the kernel through SSH and basic firefox. I have not messed with any IPTABLES primarily because I don't know what they mean, but also because from what I see I do not need them. I can't figure out why I can't connect via an external address...
Here is my vsftpd config file:
Code:
#VSFTPD CONFIGURATION FILE - PWSERVER
#PHILLIP WEBER - RIPPEFFECT
#General Settings
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES

userlist_file=/var/vsftpd/users.user_list
#Timeout Settings

data_connection_timeout=300
Any help and any tips are greatly appreciated; I need to learn somehow. If I do manage to figure this one out, I'm also having an issue with openvpn and creating an external network interface. But that seems more complicated. Thanks once again!
