Hi,

Looking to host an FTP server at home, does anyone have any suggestions for good, reliable, open source applications that i can use?

So far i have found Cerberusftp, just wanted to get your opinions if there is anything better...

Thanks.
 
Just started trying it out, for some reason i can connect on my LAN and see the files in the FTP folder but if a friend tries to connect over the Internet he can login to the FTP folder but on the "list" command it pauses, gives an error message and disconnects. Here's the log:

Code: 
Status:	Connecting to (servername)...
Status:	Connected with (servername). Waiting for welcome message...
Response:	220 Welcome to the AoSFTP server, you on Red-Dwarf
Command:	USER (username)
Response:	331 User (username), password please
Command:	PASS (password)
Response:	230 Password Ok, User logged in
Command:	SYST
Response:	215 UNIX Type: **
Command:	FEAT
Response:	211- Additional features supported include:
Response:	 MDTM
Response:	 SIZE
Response:	 REST STREAM
Response:	 AUTH TLS
Response:	 AUTH SSL
Response:	 PBSZ
Response:	 PROT
Response:	 LANG EN*
Response:	 SITE CHMOD
Response:	 SITE PSWD
Response:	211 End
Status:	Connected
Status:	Retrieving directory listing...
Command:	PWD
Response:	257 "/" is the current directory
Command:	TYPE A
Response:	200 Type ASCII
Command:	PASV
Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (-ipaddress-,4,4)
Command:	LIST
Error:	Transfer channel can't be opened. Reason: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Error:	Could not retrieve directory listing
Command:	TYPE A

I have opened port 20 and 21 on my router, but can't think of what to do next? It is obviously connecting, is it something with "passive mode" i need to configure? It obviously seems router related as i can logon to it locally but he cant logon outside of my network...

Any help appreciated :)

Edit: Have also tried disabling local firewall with no change.
