I turn the random ports on and could connect. Then i turned them off and it still worked. Ok I am sure it is the firwall now, does proftpd use these ports always or just sometimes? Thanks I will play around with port settings until it is what i like and working!
You can go to the link below to see the recommended ports to open for Proftpd. In addition to the firewall settings make sure you match the settings in the Proftpd.conf file. When you make the changes you must apply the firewall rules and restart Proftpd for them to take effect.
Go check the server logs, the secure and xferlog file in var/log.
I stopped proftpd and installed vsftp, I had used it for years, so I had a good fall back… I did ’ yum install vsftp ’ then edited the vsftp.conf and was going again…
It seem like I was getting IPv6 errors from the proftp. The version 1.3.0a the update channel is using does not has the bug fix the making it correctly handle the --ipv4 and ipv6 command-line options …
I looked at making the current version 1.3.1 … that lead to other problems. The server is not setup with all the development software it need to do that. So this setup of vsftpd.conf make it act like the installed proftpd. until someone fixes it…
