1Did you configure /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf? Did you configure tcp_wrappers (vsftpd uses them!) Did you add ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp to IPTABLES for connection tracking? Did you add appropriate rules to IPTABLES? – fpmurphy Jun 09 '11 at 15:08

It fails? Doesn't it show you the reason? Did you check the log files? – Hameedullah Khan Jun 09 '11 at 15:27

/var/log/vsftpd.log is the default log unless you changed it in /etc/vsftpd.conf – fpmurphy Jun 09 '11 at 15:43

Check the log files (/var/log). Consult the CentOS manual if you don't know where/how.
