ftp-server
I have a FTP server (vsftpd) setuped on a Linux box (Ubuntu server). When I try to connect with a computer on the same network everything works fine as expected.
But as soon the IP is external it won't connect..
I first assumed the port was blocked, but then:
localserver:$ sudo tail -f /var/log/vsftpd.log
Wed Jan 13 14:21:17 2010 [pid 2407] CONNECT: Client "xxx.xxx.107.4"
remotemachine:$ netcat svn-motion.no-ip.biz 21
220 FTP Server
And it hangs there ..
Is there any other ports other than 21 that are required to be open ?
