pure-ftpd - PassivePortRange setting ignored

English Applications
#1

Hi all,

I’m trying to use ftp in passive mode. Authentication is OK over
TLS/SSL, but command LIST ends with timeout.

I have checked firewall log on server and it seems that pure-ftpd
doesn’t obey defined PassivePortRange 35000 36000.

Configuration seems correct (checked both in
/etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf and yast).

I’m using OpenSUSE 11.1 64 bit, pure-ftpd is 1.0.21

How to persuade pure-ftpd to use defined port range?

Thank you for support,
H99

Hi, I had the same problem. As a first you’ve got to set the portrange
in the pure-ftpd.conf file like you already did. Next to that you’ve got
to open those ports in your computers firewall as well. In your case
35000 to 36000.

Hi,

thanks a lot for info.
I think I’m already using the latest version - both installed and
available versions are 1.0.21-182.32.1 (repo for updates is
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/, using yast)… nothing newer
appears in my Online updates…

Ports are opened on the firewall :slight_smile:

Check whether the generation of the running config file puts
-p35000:36000 in the pure-ftpd command line as explained in the bug
report. If not you may have to rerun the config, or something. Also
check for silly spelling errors. I see that according to the bug report
the required syntax is 35000:36000 but you seem to have used a space.

You are right, my syntax is wrong… I have overlooked it in the patch
description.

Everything works fine now.

Thanks!
