Please check the following from another client: * Can you telnet to the server on port 21 and see a banner like this (starting with 220): ch...@rocio(rita)$ telnet www.mirrorservice.org 21 Trying 212.219.56.135... Connected to www.mirrorservice.org. Escape character is '^]'. 220 UK Mirror Service FTP server version 1.4 ready If you connect with an FTP client, are you asked for a login and password? When does the server start to "seem to be dropping my traffic"? If you are able to log in, try changing FTP mode to active or passive to see if either one works better? Please list all your INPUT firewall rules on the server, with: iptables -L -nv INPUT Cheers, Chris. -- Aptivate | http://www.aptivate.org | Phone: +44 1223 760887 The Humanitarian Centre, Fenner's, Gresham Road, Cambridge CB1 2ES Aptivate is a not-for-profit company registered in England and Wales with company number 04980791. _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
