Enable FTP on VMWARE ESX 3.0.2

Asked by 9413systems in VMware

Tags: VMWARE, esx, 3.0.2

I'm trying to access my ESX 3.0.2 server via FTP so I can patch it, however, I am unable to access the server via port 21.  I've already enable the port using the esxcfg-firewall command.  However, my ftp client keeps returing "unable to connect".   Below is my current firewall settings:



[root@vmesx01 bin]# esxcfg-firewall --query
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 68 packets, 8416 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 41 packets, 3908 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination


Neither incoming nor outgoing blocked by default
Enabled services: nfsClient ftpServer CIMSLP swISCSIClient CIMHttpsServer sshClient snmpd vpxHeartbeats AAMClient LicenseClient ftpClient sshServer CIMHttpServer veritasBackupExec telnetClient

Opened ports:
        ftpClient           : port 21 tcp.in tcp.out
        iSCSi               : port 3260 tcp.in tcp.out
