Vsftpd client support

I can only get vsftp to work with filezilla. No matter what ftp client I use even on the same computer it doesn't work. I can get Filezila to work on any computer to connect however I can't connect with any other ftp client. Does anyone have any common reason why this happens?

This is my vsftpd.conf looks like


anonymous_enable=NO

local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
idle_session_timeout=600
data_connection_timeout=120
nopriv_user=ftpsecure
ascii_upload_enable=YES
ascii_download_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Gurus'Network FTP.
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_file=/usr/local/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
ls_recurse_enable=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/usr/local/share/vsftpd/empty
listen_port=21
ftp_data_port=20
max_clients=20
max_per_ip=3
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_max_port=20000
pasv_min_port=15000
port_enable=YES
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/usr/local/etc/vsftpd.userlist
listen=YES


any ideas? I am running freeBSD as well. Does anyone know if the freebsd ftp server is good?

What error message appears in the logs? The problem is specific to your setup, many public mirrrors serve with vsftpd as their ftp server.

Well in the log, there doesn't seem to be "errors" So I think it is possible my ftp client. I was using konqueror in freebsd. I will try gftp and see if I can get that to work. Here is the error I get when trying to log in with konqueror:

On konqueror it just shows that there just isn't taking the password. Says 530 error or something.

You could take it up with the FreeBSD admins/kde.org, but meanwhile try gftp. Also check for updates as those issues could have been fixed in an update. Konqueror sometimes misbehaves.
