Great article. It contains everything i needed. While other locations contained some important information, the information that really saved me was the allowing of port 21 through the firewall, since most OS don’t have it as a default.

This guide is sort of useless. Could you not tell us the expected output, so we know we’ve done it right?

File size for FTP
Can we limit file size for FTP ? Download/upload not over 2 MB size ? or something like that ?

I had to add this to my /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf:

pasv_min_port=12000
pasv_max_port=12003

And the firewall exception:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state –dport 12000:12003 –state NEW -j ACCEPT

But it all works now :)
