502 Illegal PORT Command

[spinto]

Hi,

I am running RH 7.2 and have setup Wu-Ftpd to except anonymous ftp connections from a separate dir.

I have 2 win9x boxes and the linux box behind a Linksys BDFSR41 Router.

I have forwarded ports 2121 from the linux box.

I have edited the /etc/services file so FTP is listening on port 2121.

I have edited the /etc/ftpaccess file allowing anonymous access.

Now if I use my ftp client and access the linux box using 192.168.***.*** I have no problems.

But when I use my ftp client and access the linux box from the other side of the linksys I get the message,
"502 Illegal PORT Command"

If I type ftpwho on the linux box it shows me idle.

What am I missing here?

I am real new to Linux, but am begining to really like it.

Thanks in advance,

Andy,

P.S. please don't tell me I will need to reboot, I get a kick out of running top and seeing up 32 days, 13:35

Ftp uses data and command channels which are 20:21.
Unless you want to break things badly I would suggest not
messing with this.

There is a linux server forum here that is more responsive
to these requests I would think BTW.

For further issues with this.
An excellent article here for you.
