Passive FTP

[bluestreek]

I read around a lot and I am still having real trouble getting Passive FTP to work on my dedicated server. My ftp is set to port 7591 and I have port 1024 open in ip tables with ESTABLISHED, RELATED etc.

When I do
lsmod | grep ip_nat_ftp
lsmod | grep ip_conntrack_ftp
It returns no result which I think means they are not loaded? I have modprobed both of them.

Any advice would be great! Right now it hangs at about to open data connection.

Probably not useful to you, but
Don't use FTP. Use sftp. Here is why.
Firewalls are just 1 reason to use sftp, there are many others.
