If you are getting following error while directory listing, follow the solution provided below :<\/p>\n

———-
\nftp> ls
\n227 Entering Passive Mode (108,61,169,245,167,161).
\nftp: connect: No route to host
\n———-<\/p>\n

Solution :<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Edit \/etc\/sysconfig\/iptables-config<\/em> and add this line:<\/p>\n

IPTABLES_MODULES=”ip_conntrack_ftp”<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Save it and restart iptables.<\/p>\n

That’s because passive mode use non standard ports to communicate, so you need to keep track of the ftp connections and iptables will allow them when necessary.<\/p>\n

Another solution is specify the passive ports that will be used on FTP server configuration, then open those specific ports on firewall.<\/p>\n
