You might check using both passive and active mode connections
with the ftp client, being sure to download a file with each. If
both work then Chris' suggestion sounds reasonable. You might
also read about the debug log here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.proftpd.org/docs/modules/mod_core.html#DebugLevel">http://www.proftpd.org/docs/modules/mod_core.html#DebugLevel</a>.
Getting more detailed output can be a big help.<br>
<br>
If only one mode works, then the debug log can help diagnose the
problem. For our servers, we use NAT behind a firewall so have to
set MasqueradeAddress for each virtual site. When an update
replaces /etc/proftpd.conf, we have put back the MasqueradeAddress
stanzas or passive mode won't work. Something like that might be
the cause of your problem.<br>
<br>
I've also found using the FileZilla client with debug logging
turned up complements the server logs.<br>
<br>
Finally, run a diff between the last two versions of
/etc/proftpd.conf and see what's changed. <br>

One of our servers has stopped allowing FTP access via web browser - used to work fine. Still okay via FTP client.
The only thing that I can think of that has changed was the recent big yum update although we have other servers that have been updated and the FTP is working fine via web browser, so may have nothing to do with it.
Server is BX 5106R
Anybody any ideas? Used to work.

Hi Colin,
Are you sure it isn't the browser? I know that some time ago the web
browsers used to have FTP client functionality, but some of that has
been removed from IE and FireFox (I'm aware of those, maybe others).
Generally speaking, the BlueOnyx server doesn't really care - in fact
isn't aware - of whether the connecting client is a web-browser,
command-line or commercial FTP client, so it's not making any decisions
on whether it should work or not. If the server works with one client,
it'll work with all. Which is why I recommend investigating if it
really might be a browser issue instead.
