[BlueOnyx:08949] Re: MLSD not reporting symbolic links in ftp

[Colin Jack]

I am now seeing this on one of my servers - users using Filezilla cannot connect:

Command:	PASV
Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (87,128,xxx,xxx,225,142).
Command:	MLSD
Error:	Connection timed out
Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing

This is since a yum update but I don't know if is related. Running 220 ProFTPD 1.3.3e Server (ProFTPD server) which is the same as on other BX servers that are fine.

There is quite a lot of stuff on the internet about this problem - supposed to be fixed in 1.3.4 - but why only one of my servers?

Anybody know a quick and dirty work around? I have a lot of disgruntled users!

Thanks

Colin
