I am running VSFTP as an inetd service on my LAN. I want to allow
everyone on the LAN to access this server but it only seems to work
on the local computer with either ftp://localhost or
ftp://192.168.1.101 (my local IP address). I have a Windows XP
machine and am trying to connect to the FTP server using Windows
Explorer but I get a message saying:

"Connection with the server was reset"

Using Nmap on the Windows XP PC, I see that port 21 is open on the PC
with VSFTP. I've disabled the McAfee Privacy Manager software
thinking it had something to do with it blocking the connection since
it meant exposing my email address when logging on anonymously but
that didn't help. The following is my /etc/vsftpd.conf file:

listen=NO
anonymous_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem

Any ideas why I cannot connect? Am I missing something in my config
file?



Try to put listen=YES
