Title: Problem with proftp after upgrade to 7.3
Post by: AlexM on June 25, 2008, 03:28:58 PM

I have upgraded a server from 7.1.1 to 7.3 via yum. All seemed well until the ftp service started behaving 'differently' to the way it worked in 7.1.1

The client has a remote system that ftp's orders to the SME server (ibay setup with ftp access) and an application on local network picks up orders, processes and places a results log file into the ftp ibay for remote system to pick up.

After upgrading, the ftp server became case sensitive, which it was not previously - so the remote system looking for .CON files was not finding .con files!

A bigger issue is that the NLST command no longer seems to work. The remote system gets disconnected as soon as it issues NLST command.
Below are the log files from proftpd which shows this process:
Jun 25 12:14:54 [354] <command:7>: dispatching PRE_CMD command 'NLST *.CON' to mod_tls.c
Jun 25 12:14:54 [354] <command:7>: dispatching PRE_CMD command 'NLST *.CON' to mod_core.c
Jun 25 12:14:54 [354] <command:7>: dispatching PRE_CMD command 'NLST *.CON' to mod_core.c
Jun 25 12:14:54 [354] <command:7>: dispatching CMD command 'NLST *.CON' to mod_ls.c
Jun 25 12:14:55 [354] <response:1>: 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
Jun 25 12:14:55 [354] <command:7>: dispatching LOG_CMD_ERR command 'NLST *.CON' to mod_log.c
Jun 25 12:14:55 [354] <command:7>: dispatching LOG_CMD_ERR command 'NLST *.CON' to mod_ls.c
Jun 25 12:14:56 [354] <response:1>: 450 No files found

Using a windows ftp client I get the following:
Command:   PORT 192,168,55,36,9,244
Response:   200 PORT command successful
Command:   TYPE A
Response:   200 Type set to A
Command:   NLST *.con
Response:   425 Unable to build data connection: Connection refused

Has anyone else has the same issue after moving to 7.3 with proftp 1.3.1 ?

I am also having the same problem...

But I noticed the FTP needs to be SFTP, and I am having a problem inthat our big scanners for printing industry dont have SFTP and cant scan to the SME Server now...
