Re: [opensuse] proftp passive mode, on which port?

i always have bad experience with my proftp server. i have it running
but i can't transfr any data. Everytime it always stuck at "Entering
passive mode" for a long time and then timeout. But if I disable the
firewall, it works well. So which port of firewall should i open? I do
some googling and find out port 30000-30050 or 60000-65535, but it
didn't work.

You can define the range ports which are used to establish passive connections by defining "PassivePorts" in the configuration file (likely to be /etc/proftpd.conf)

Add/modify this line to suit your needs:
PassivePorts 65525 65530

Open appropriate ports in your firewall, and restart proftpd.
