There's a trick to setting up vsftpd so you don't get the "no route to
host" error whenever you do something after connecting (e.g. ls). Last
time I was setting up ftpd I found it in google but for the life of me I
can't find it again. You can log in to the server successfully but
anything you do after connecting returns the error. All I can find in my
searches is references to passive mode but there is a some configuration
parameter not directly related to the vsftpd configuration that makes it
work whether passive or not.

Although I don't think it matters:
Fedora Core 2
2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp
vsftpd-1.2.1-5
