I am running Proxmox VE 1.5 on a Dual VT technology XEON Based Dell Poweredge 1950. I have installed a KVM from scratch using a Live CD (x86_64) to get the system (Centos 5.4) installed . Everything is working fine with the exception of the FTP server, which I can not get to work.
I have initially installed VSFTP, and as it did not work now I am trying with PROFTPD. I can install and run the server on the KVM without problem. The issue is with the client. When I connect as client I can login fine to the server but when it switches to "Passive Mode" to list the files in the folder it basically stops working. Eventually it gives a timeout. I get the same behaviour with both FTP servers VSFTP and ProFTPD.
I have extensively googled the issue, and found a reference to maybe having to define the "Passive Port Range" used by the server, in the server's (ProFTPD) configuration. It also indicates that on the Host this same port range has to be forwarded to the KVM's IP address and Port Range.
I can not find a way to do that with Proxmox, GUI or Command line...
In addition I am not sure, this is really the issue. In my setup both the Host and the KVM have their own public IP address. Other services like HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, SIP, IAX2 to mention a few have no problems whatsoever and work properly on the KVM.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
