CentOS 7 & VSFTPd

Hi All,

I recently setup a Cent OS 7 server on my local network.

I'm trying to enable FTP, but struggling.

I followed this guide and everything seemed to work. However I can't telnet to port 21 on the server. Port 22 works.

Any suggestions?

iptables is not running

Seth Simmons

if you're on that server and you do telnet <local system name> 21 it doesn't respond?

When I am on the server I can telnet to itself on port 21

Seth Simmons

ok...from another system it fails?
any firewall in between?

from all other PC's on the same network it fails.

There are no firewalls on the other PC's.

Most notable is the fact I can telnet from other PC's to SSH port 22. So more than likely it is a setting on the Cent OS server.

Yes the service is running.

The server says it's listening on port 21 and I can telnet to port 21 using localhost.

Are there any filters in CentOS 7 / VSFTPd that stops network connections?

there is a service running called firewalld

and stopping it grants ftp access....

Seth Simmons

ok...that's the new firewall daemon
haven't had much time to play with RHEL/CentOS 7 yet
