Could be you need to open a doorway for FTP in your firewall. If you are using iptables this should work: /usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT Sid

What happens when you try and connect to it? what error?

It did not make a difference. On my system it is located at /sbin/iptables, rather than a subdirectory of /usr -- If you desire to respond directly remove the "sj." from the domain name part of my email address.

I am trying to make this ftp connection using Dreamweaver MX 2004. The error message is: "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found." This error message happens immediately upon the attempt to connect. I am able to access this site by its domain name in a web browser. The above error message is what I get when I put the ftp subdomain on it. Without a subdomain the FTP attempt times out because the server does not respond. That it cannot find the remote host with the FTP subdomain causes me to suspect the Bind9 configuration. Are you sure Bind9 does not have to be configured for ftp? -- If you desire to respond directly remove the "sj." from the domain name part of my email address. It is a spam jammer. |
