I'm trying to configure the ftp service in my server. Everything seems in place, but the client always gets this response: Connection refused.
This is the content of my iptables file
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.7 on Tue Jun 4 17:43:03 2013

In case you need it, this it what iptables -L returns:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:mysql state NEW,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp spt:mysql state ESTABLISHED
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the iptables, although i could be wrong. I followed every step in this tutorial. Any ideas?
