Here's what I get when I log into to my FTP server and try to type a few basic commands:įTP from DOS (Windows 10 command line) 230 Login successfulĢ27 Entering Pasive Mode (172,31,45,155,173,61)įTP from Linux Command Line: 230 Login successful.Ģ27 Entering Passive Mode (172,31,45,155,165,40).

However, when I try to connect to the FTP server using command line, I can't browse the file structure at all, I can't even do a simple dir or ls command, so naturally the software running on my other server isn't able to pull the required files since it's in essence, running a script to connect to the FTP server in the background.Ĭan anybody at all suggest what might be the problem here? I can connect to the FTP server easily using Filezilla and can browse the ftp directory structure, and both download & upload files in both active and passive mode, so I know that VSTFP is installed and behaving at least in some form, as expected. I have done this so that an application on another server can run an automated script to pull files from the FTP server triggered by a cron job.

I'm trying to use VSFTP 3.0.3-3ubuntu2 on an Ubuntu 16:04.1 install.
