vsftpd can't do ls or get or anything after logging in

[newcg]

I can login to by ftp, but i can't do anything else after logging in. I can only do a 'cd'

230 Login successful.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
Aborting any active data connections...

any ideas.

I'm running RH4/Centos4.4. I'm connect a crossover cable from my laptop to the server.

everything is basically defaults.

thanks.

check the following directive in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

cmds_allowed

That can b eised to restrict the commands allowed by vsftp server after login.

You can either add all necessary commands to it, or try to comment it out to allow all commands.

If I could have sex each time I reboot my server, I would definitely prefer Windoz over Linux!
