If you place a firewall on your server you need to enable the passive section in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf.

==Error==
The error may look similar to this
 Connecting FTP data socket...
 The connection failed due to an error or timeout.
 
In the end it seems to try to connect but timeout before that happens or timeout during an LS.

==Enabling PassivePortRange==
Edit /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and look for the line '''PassivePortRange'''

Make sure the comment '''#''' is removed and change it to
 PassivePortRange 50000 51000

Restart ftp with '''/scripts/restartsrv_pureftpd'''

If you run the '''APF''' firewall, in /etc/apf/conf.apf change add '''50000_51000''' to '''IG_TCP_CPORTS=''' and restart apf with '''apf -r'''

Your firewall may vary.
