vsftpd

Cannot get this to work.

Always fail with the following in FileZilla. Just going from machines on local subnet. Tried a bunch of different config settings to no avail from the Internet and the Arch Wiki page:

Status:	Connecting to 192.168.1.17:21...
Status:	Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Status:	Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
Status:	Logged in
Status:	Retrieving directory listing...
Command:	PWD
Response:	257 "/home/anonymous" is the current directory
Command:	TYPE I
Response:	200 Switching to Binary mode.
Command:	PASV
Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (108,56,255,219,195,89).
Command:	LIST
Error:	Connection closed by server
Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing

Tried the Online FTP tester at https://ftptest.net/ enabling port forwarding to the FTP server machine on my router, and got the following:

Command: PWD
Reply: 257 "/home/anonymous" is the current directory
Status: Current path is /home/anonymous
Command: TYPE I
Reply: 200 Switching to Binary mode.
Command: PASV
Reply: 227 Entering Passive Mode (108,56,255,219,195,90).
Command: LIST
Error: Connection got closed prematurely

A common cause for this problem are broken routers and/or firewalls that interrupt the connection.
Some broken or badly configured servers can also interrupt the connection prematurely.

Re: vsftpd

What is the journal output for the vsftpd service when a user connects and then the connection ends?

Re: vsftpd

What is the journal output for the vsftpd service when a user connects and then the connection ends?

Hmm...Looks like I got a core dump:

Re: vsftpd

What if you update to vsftpd 3.0.5?
