vsftp and firewall

[duncan brown]

send us the output of the following command (ran as root)

iptables -L -n

also, remember that your ftp client is probably using PASSIVE transfers, which means you'll need a range of high level ports to be open, not just 21.  i bet if you use the text mode ftp program on windows your transfers will work like a champ.  (start -> run -> ftp)

Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods.
