I’ve searched the forums and have not found an answer or suggestions that help with this issue… so here goes…
I’ve set up vsftpd on my Linux 11.2 server. Once the packages were installed I used Yast > Network Services > FTP Server to configure and start the service.
When testing using “ftp localhost” in terminal (as su), everything seems to work fine. But, when I am connecting from client machines (openSUSE, MacBookPro, WinXP), I get error messages. They are as follows: (IP marked out for security)
via openSUSE with FileZilla:

I am really at a loss as to why all seem to login and then timeout. Any help or a point in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!
