ftp slow with iptables

[Troyston Campano]

Hello, 

On my FC3 machine I run a FTP server (vsftpd). I also run a firewall
(iptables).

I add a rule to my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 21 -j
ACCEPT

 

>From my Windows box, I use WS_FTP to connect and all is well..except for the
speed of connection. When I turn the firewall off, I can connect within
milliseconds. However, when I turn the firewall on it can still connect but
it can take up to 20 seconds to make a connection and give my directory
listing.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you!
