'pasv_min_port' and 'pasv_max_port' directives of vsftpd not working to limit the port ranges
Issue
- vsftpd 'pasv_min_port' and 'pasv_max_port' not working to limit the port range
- Below port ranges are configured on vsftpd server, but the ftp connection uses a port not in the specified range.
/etc/vsftpd.conf:
pasv_min_port=10000
pasv_max_port=20000
- netstat output shows the connection from 55776 port, which is not in the range.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 192.4.53.228:21 128.96.130.76:55776 ESTABLISHED
Environment
