According to logs, everything is fine (OK DOWNLOAD). But some windows users say that they are loosing connection or session. They can't change folders at once, only with a few tries. Also they can't download folders with many files. I tested ftp with IE, Firefox, gftp and so on, and didn't find any problems. Should I allow passive ftp connections? And could you give me a link (found some in google, but all of them are different and useless) or some ipfw sample with passive connection settings? I tried to configure vsftpd to use passive mode on port range 50000-60000 and allowed any to any 50000-60000 in ipfw, but natd also uses these ports so they can't be from any to any. Thank you.
