Hi guys I have been trying for a few hours to install and get FTP to work...

I did yum install ftp and yum install vsftpd

They all installed and are running but when I try to use filezilla or some other client I just can't connect....I've tried connecting on port 21 and port 990 ....nothing!

These are my iptables

Any help would be much appreciated!

If I do lsof -i :21 without the "." it shows nothing.
