VSFTP issue after upgrade to 9.11.0.1

Question

hello

we have upgrade from 9.7.1.2 to 9.11.0.1 and have a critical alert for VSFTPD, does anyone have the ports for passive mode?.

my search of the Dell site hasn't revealed any useful KB

When firewall is enabled, VSFTPD is enabled but works in passive mode, this combination will block FTP connections.

I have logged this with support but so far not heard back, was hoping it was something hidden in the release notes :)

Hi,   Thanks for your question. The passive port should be port 21   Let us know if you have any additional questions.

thank you, is it obvious where I would need to set this?

Set it where? In the software or on your firewall?

NotStopIsilonProblems · Answer

on the Isilon, If I select enable Passive on the Isilon Cluster, do I need to specify ports somewhere?

NotStopIsilonProblems · Answer

as I have the firewall enabled on the Isilon

Logs sent to support 3 times now but still nothing back.  We have stopped using SFTP for key apps

Please note: If SFTP or, for example, passive FTP is to be used in conjunction with the integrated firewall or other firewalls, the FTP configuration on the cluster side must be adjusted and the ports or port range to be used must be defined in vsftpd (/etc/mcp/templates/vsftpd.conf).

Other FTP settings should also be set in vsftpd.conf.
