Hello
I have wu-ftpd running on my linux server
I can easily FTP in on my local network, but the public internet can't.
I have port 23 open, forwarding to that server, and it will connect, but I get this error:

LIST
425 Possible PASV port theft, cannot open data connection.
! Retrieve of folder listing failed (4)
'
Any ideas?

Laughing out loud

23 is for Telnet
20 and 21 are for FTP
