ShadowFoxLSU Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Ok guys. I am trying to setup an FTP server for my personal use (though I will probably add Fedora Core 1 and MDK 9.2 ISOs to it for the public) but apparently my ISP has blocked ports 20 and 21. How do I change the ports when using vsftpd. Secondly, I would like to be able to use the FTP server as a Networked disk on my main computer, how would I have to set up nautilus to automatically login and access the server (nautilus if I put in the address will open the anonymous account) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so badly want a workaround!!!! I hate it, i cant run servers!!! I changed ports for apache and all that and it doesnt work furious3 furious3 No i cant call my ISP because running servers is against the Acceptable Use policy. I still would like to run apache or ssh at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) The first thing that comes to my mind is port forwarding on the firewall and .. but you can also set the port when you startup the server, ... like you mention But then you still couldn't run a public server... If you had some serverspace on the web already wher eyou could run scripts, couldn't you redirect the user than to your server on your specified port... I think this is possible, but if it is on your ISP's server, hopefully they don't check scripts(if you're allowed to run them). But there is a html redirector-metatag (if you don't know..things in the head of the webpage if I'm not mistaken)..maybe this is sufficient. For public ftp..probably possible too ...can't think of something immediately. Edited November 22, 2003 by Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglafata Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 There is a lot of good information on Shorewall regarding Shorewall firewall and FTP and how to port forward, but I don't know if this will help your situation since your ISP is blocking the ports.
