vsFTP won't work through my Router. Help

[mortonarts]

hey everyone.

I am running redhat 9.0 and trying to use vsFTP for my FTP site. It works fine locally but will not work through my Linksys router. I have updated my frimware on the router and am forwarding ports 20 and 21 to my linux box. Is there anything else I need to do for this?

Make sure it's in PASV mode if your router has firewall functions enabled.

You could try to put your computer that is hosting the server into the DMZ..

Call your ISP and see if they block incomming request on port 21. If they do change the port the server runs on to something like 7342. and set up port forwarding for that port as well..

I allready put it in the DMZ. How do I put vsFTP in PASV mode? this is what I have been trying to do.
