redhat 9, fully updated, kernel ver 2.4.20
256 megs ram

i reformatted the server, and i'm now running redhat 9, fully updated, (kernel too, 2.4.20, as high as the distro supports). for the webserver, i'm running apache 2.0.49, and i'm not having any problems accessing the site.
my friend and i tried to configure vsftpd to allow remote updates to the web site (as i tried, as mentioned in the above post, with wftpd), but when i try to access the server (using filezilla 2.2.5) i get the following error message
Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.101 ...
Status: Connected with 192.168.1.101. Waiting for welcome message...
Error: Disconnected from server
Error: Unable to connect!
i configured iptables using the default redhat gui (might be the default kde gui) to allow connections to a webserver and an ftp server to no avail. i know it's not a problem with my router, as i'm only trying to access the ftp server from inside my domain.
i have 2 questions regarding my problem
when i formatted the machine, i selected to allow http access on port 80, but i DIDN'T set up to allow ftp access until after the install.
could this have anything to do with my problem?
the other is, if this is the problem, would configuring iptables through the console to allow connections on port 21 change anything?
once again, any advice is appreciated
