Pure-FTP passive ports are not working

[simisimis]

Hello,
Recently I installed another DA machine but this time I went with pure-ftpd instead of proftpd. But now when I create users and try to access ftp through filezilla I get:


Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/" is your current location
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (123,123,123,123,138,87)
Command: MLSD
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

If I set filezilla to active mode then I can connect, no problem. in /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd there're passive ports specified:

...
OPTIONS="-B -A -C 15 -E -H -k 95 -L 10000:8 -O stats:${LOG} -l puredb:${DB} -p 35000:35999 -u 100 -U 133:022 -w -Z"
OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -Y 1 -J HIGH:MEDIUM:+TLSv1:!SSLv2:+SSLv3"
...

I see no pure-ftpd config file in the system. Tried googling on this forum, but did not really find a lot.

Should I edit /etc/init.d/iptables file manually? If yes what kind of rule it is missing?

Thanks guys for your help,

Looking forward for replies.
Wishes,
S.

Then your firewall is not setup right.

Thank you for comment. I found the problem. It's not the server firewall. It's universities routers where I work blocking the access on passive mode. Cause I can get directory listing if I do that from the same subnet.
Sorry for the false alarm and thank you for reply, somehow I was pretty sure that pure-ftpd did not have passive mode enabled..

Or in other words; it's not your firewall; it's the university's firewall.
