Linux FTP

[M.G.Chandra Babu]

Not able to do FTP by using our new Internet connection (GWNNET) to our Red Hat Linux Server. At the same time by using some other internet connection (Magix,Singtel, etc) is still able to do FTP. By using this new internet connection (GWNNET) is able to do some other webservers. For your reference, our Linux Server Firewall ("IPCHAIN") and "hosts.allow" is not blocking this new line.

What can be the possible reason ? Please help !

Hi,
What is the connecting speed when you are connecting to GWNNET ?. Compare it with other
ISP . If the speed is very less in GWNNET , then your slow internet connection can be the
problem. How is web browsing speed in GWNNET
when compared to others ?. I think this is ftp
issue is because of slow connection.

Hi Sivakumar,

Good point. Magix line (512K) is able to connect, which we are using last time and the GWNNET is (192k), you are right. But how come I am able to connect by using normal dial-up connection (64k) ? What you think ?

[U.SivaKumar_2]

Hi,
If you are able to connect through dial-up , then which ISP you are connecting.
Different customers of different speeds of an
ISP with have different routing paths.
When you connect thru dialup to a ftp server can you download any file ?.
Also Are you using a shared 192k connection ?.
check with that ISP.

Hi,
We have to use our new ISP (gwnnet 192k) which one giving problem for FTP. Its not sharing. We are using dial up connection only for FTP at this moment because the GWNNET is not able do the same. This dial up connection is able to do FTP.

Error messages? Can you ping the host?

[M.G.Chandra Babu]

Yes, the error message "Connection closed by remote host" from my side and in our host log /var/log/messages file showing the status "ftpd[xxxx]:FTP Session closed.". We disable the option to recive the ping in our IPChain, but it should'nt be a problem because still able to do SSH from this new ISP. Only FTP have the problem by using this new ISP.

[M.G.Chandra Babu]

We are using one switch (DIRECT CONNECTION) and router (DHCP) for this new ISP in our office. Any chance to block only the FTP before it reach in our computer ?
