i have problems connecting to my proftpd server from clients...
I have a firewall that I have configured to pass port 21 to the server...

right now I try to use the proftpd.conf.sample

I have some questions about the users:
Code:
# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User            proftpd
Group            proftpd

I had to create these manually! what do they do? do the clients use these to connect to the server?
Code:
<Anonymous ~ftp>
  User            ftp
  Group            ftp

the user ftp and group ftp was allready created, is this what the clients use to connect? I don't have to create a anonymous user and group huh?

should I create /home/ftp ? and what user:group do they need? (I have created /home/ftp)

when I try to connect with gftp client it says 'Receiving file names...' for a long time...
Code:
220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [192.168.30.2]
USER anonymous

331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password.
PASS xxxx
230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply.
SYST

215 UNIX Type: L8
TYPE I

200 Type set to I
PWD

257 "/" is current directory.
Loading directory listing / from server (LC_TIME=<unknown>)
PASV

227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,30,2,128,15).
LIST -aL

Connection to crazyzed.mine.nu timed out
Disconnecting from site xxxx.mine.nu


when I connect with Firefox it loads for a very long time then I come to a screen that looks like it would be the server
Code:
Index of ftp://xxxx.mine.nu/
Up to higher level directory

but it is not cause I have put a file named test.txt in the home/ftp folder and it doesn't show up

I'm not a proftpd hacker but I think you need port 20 and 21 for FTP.

The user and group proftpd mentioned in the config are probably the user/group that the proftpd process runs as.

You should be able to log on to the ftp using your regular user/pass.

you should open port 20 for ftpdata, check your /etc/services.
I know that usually firewalls are configure to accept releated connections I donno how you have yours.
