You restarted the vsftpd daemon after editing the config correct?


Assuming you did, there are two possible explanations.

1. There is an issue with the old versions of vsftpd you are using that is preventing this from working correctly, updating to a newer version might make it work.

Possible Solution: Upgrade vsftpd to the most current version.

2. At some point somewhere between your PC and the remote FTP server there is NAT (Network address translations) deployed with a FTP helper. The FTP helper doesn't know/care about site to site transfers so it blindly modifies the PORT command sent by FlashFXP, as a result the FTP server sees something different preventing the site to site transfer from working.

Possible Solution: Setup a secondary FTP server on a non-standard port such as 21000, typically a NAT FTP helper will only monitor for FTP type traffic on the standard FTP port (21). Or use SSL to secure the FTP connection, this will prevent a NAT FTP helper from messing things up.
